The Logie Butchart Memorial Bursary

Amount: $365.00

The Logie Butchart Memorial Bursary is the University of 澳门王中王论坛's oldest bursary.  While modest by modern standards, this bursary reminds us of our history as a university and of the sacrifices made by our earliest students and their families. Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Butchart of Minnedosa created this bursary in memory of their son, Logie Butchart, who attended Wesley College and lost his life in France during the First World War. Today, the Logie Butchart Memorial Bursary honours his memory by supporting Canadian veterans, as well as their children and descendants.
