Prior to Wednesday's Regina City Council meeting, 17 post-secondary students from across the city were recognized with the 2023 annual Henry Baker scholarship.
An “impressive” list of accomplishments propelled 17 students from across Regina to be recognized with the annual Henry Baker Scholarship.
The 2023 scholarships were awarded prior to a shorter-than-usual Regina City Council meeting, which also saw the city approve a land sale, the hiring of a new city solicitor, and a registered voters list.
Before the meeting commenced, 17 post-secondary students from across Regina were awarded a Henry Baker Scholarship.
According to Mayor Sandra Masters, the students were awarded the scholarship for their excellence in academics and the impact they have made in the community.
“The Henry Baker scholarship is awarded annually, and Coun. Lori Bresciani sits on the committee on behalf of city council to review the applications,” Masters said.
“The requirement is that they have to be attending a post-secondary institution in the city of Regina. And as you can tell by the list of accomplishments of these young students, it’s impressive. The city recognizes that investment in young people, investment in education, is incredibly important for the future of the city.
“And so, we’re always really pleased to be able to help with financial support for those students.”
Some of the charitable efforts they engaged in include work with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Special Olympics.
