Moscrop Secondary School in Burnaby with plans to begin her

involvement in Girl Guides, the Grandview-Woodland Policing
Centre, Vancouver Aquariums School Program, Marine Mammal

Making a mark no matter where she goes, she clearly deserves
this scholarship which honours those that make a positive impact
