Local 1000A is proud to congratulate Rebecca Landry for winning UFCW Canada’s Beggs-Dowling-Mathieu Scholarship.
“I think it’s incredible UFCW Canada offers these scholarships,” said Landry, who works part-time at an Oshawa Real Canadian Superstore. The Local 1000A member is in her first year of Durham College’s Biomedical Engineering Technology program. “I was really surprised to win because there are a lot of employees who could apply for this.”
Every year, UFCW Canada awards 18 scholarships, worth $1,000 each, to members, their spouse or children enrolled in full-time studies at a Canadian university, college, or other recognized post-secondary institution.
“This scholarship completes paying for my tuition next year,” said Landry. “It takes a lot of stress out of my life.”
Dan Gilbert, Local 1000A Recorder, presented the check to Landry. “On behalf of Local 1000A, I am pleased to congratulate Rebecca on her tremendous achievement and wish her the very best as she makes her way through her program.”
