Lamont County scholarship winners announced
BY JOHN MATHER
At their regular council meeting Oct.12, Lamont County Council named the recipients of the 2021 Centennial Scholarships.
The scholarships award $1,000 to two County students who are pursuing post secondary studies. The students must have demonstrated community involvement, extracurricular activities, show career goals and aspirations, and demonstrate academic achievements.
“We were certainly impressed with the two winners this year,” said Reeve David Diduck after presenting cheques for $1,000 each to Ali Akitt and Kierstyn Buck.
Akitt graduated from Lamont High School with exceptional marks in math and chemistry. She is attending the U of A in the Faculty of Education working to a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education.
Buck is also a Lamont High grad with strong math and chemistry marks.
She’s attending the University of Saskatchewan at the College of Arts and Science in her first year of the Bachelor of Science program.
After graduation Buck plans to take a Bachelor of Nursing program.
In addition to presenting the scholarships, the proceeds from the Aug. 26 Reeve’s Golf Tournament were distributed between Lamont County’s four library boards and the Lamont County Food Bank.
The food bank received 50 percent of the proceeds in the amount of $9,000 while the four library boards each received $2,250.
Lamont County Centennial Scholarship winner Kierstyn Buck was on hand at Lamont County Council Oct. 12, to receive her cheque for $1,000. The other winner, Ali Akitt was at school and unable to attend the meeting. Reeve David Diduck presents Kierstyn with her cheque while the other councillors from left, Roy Anaka, Wayne Woldanski, Neil Woitas and Daniel Warawa look on. A total of 80 golfers took part in the annual tournament held at Mundare’s Whitetail Crossing Golf Course.
