North Battleford’s Hailey Rose has been named a recipient of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program for 2021.
The program provides university scholarships to students who exemplify the humanitarian ideals of Terry Fox by volunteering and giving back to their communities.
A recent graduate of North Battleford Comprehensive High School (NBCHS), Rose said it means a lot to be recognized with the award for her efforts to make a positive impact within the community.
“I’m very honoured to have received such a respected award,” Rose said. “It’s a big accomplishment for not only me, but my people as well as an Indigenous woman, and it keeps me motivated and inspired to only do more for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth.”
