UFCW Canada Local 1006A is proud to congratulate the confirmed recipients of our Scholarship Program. Forty-two scholarships, worth $500 each, will be awarded to 1006A members or children/dependents.
"I am very grateful to my union for protecting my rights as a No Frills employee. Upon starting my university studies in 2014, I applied for the UFCW Local 1000A scholarship... Since the union’s scholarship helped reduce the high cost of university, the union has made a positive impact in my life." – Connor Hartson, Gord and Kim's No Frills in Kingston
Your union is proud to announce the recipients of the 2015 UFCW Canada Local 1000A Scholarships. Forty-two scholarships, worth $500 each, will be awarded to members and/or their dependents enrolled in post-secondary education based on their scholarship application.
“I was ecstatic when I found out I had won the scholarship,” said Traleena Rouleau, who works at Jack & Faith Bird’s No Frills in Arnprior. “It is not always easy to balance a job and post-secondary education and I appreciate the union's support and recognition of student employees. I will be putting this money towards my second semester costs, specifically my textbooks, as well as my summer courses.”
Local 1000A is pleased to congratulate the recipients of its 2014 scholarships. Forty-two scholarships, worth $700 each (up from $500 in celebration of our 70th anniversary), were awarded to members or children of members enrolled in post-secondary education based on a essay contest or creative submission.
