RE/MAX of Western Canada is committed
to helping future community leaders by offering $16,000 in bursary funds through
its annual Quest for Excellence Program. One recipient—in addition to his/her
bursary—will receive a hot air balloon ride for two.
The Quest for Excellence Program
recognizes the pursuits in leadership and community contributions of Western
Canadian students. High school students graduating in 2016 from British
Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon and Northwest Territories are
encouraged to write an essay to convey the contributions they have made to
enrich the lives of others and their communities: Through leadership,
motivation, volunteering and participation in charitable events or fundraising.
“Each year we are in awe of the
passion and commitment these young adults display in giving back to their
communities,” says Marie Sheppy, Manager, Corporate Affairs,RE/MAX of Western
Canada. “We are inspired by their stories and are honoured to assist them in
their future endeavours.”
Sixteen winners will be selected
from entries received online at
remax.ca. Each winner will receive a
$1,000 RE/MAX Quest for Excellence bursary. All 16 bursary recipients will be
placed in a draw and one lucky student will also receive a hot air balloon ride
for two from the closest major city. The application deadline is March 9, 2016.
Award recipients will be notified in April 2016, with a formal presentation at
the students’ commencement ceremonies.
“There are many young people in
Western Canada who show leadership on a regular basis and maturity beyond their
years,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western
Canada. “Their actions help make our
communities better places to live. We’re proud to recognize those individuals.”
