Impact of receiving this award:
“Receiving the Trevor Harrison Civic Engagement Scholarship from the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is an immense honour and deeply meaningful to me. This scholarship not only provides financial support for my pursuit of higher education but also serves as a profound recognition of the challenges my family and I have faced due to my father’s battle with a brain tumour. It reinforces my commitment to making a positive impact on public policy and politics, just as Mr. Trevor Harrison did throughout his life. This award empowers me to be a voice for those affected by brain tumours, advocating for their needs and raising awareness of their struggles. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and honoured to be the inaugural recipient of this award. I am determined to honour Mr. Trevor’s legacy by working tirelessly towards a better Canada for all.”
