COMMUNITY NEWS Local woman receives agricultural related scholarship Bella Todd is one of six Ontario Students receiving the OAAS Central Canada Exhibition Association Scholarship The Paris Agricultural Society was sending a big congratulations to a local woman and former Paris Fair Ambassador on her recent academic achievement. Congratulations to Bella Todd for being a recipient of the OAAS Central Canada Exhibition Association Scholarship! This scholarship awards six Ontario students for their involvement in their local agricultural societies and recognizes they’re volunteering in both their local and school communities. Bella is an incredibly active member in all of her communities. The Paris Agricultural Society is benefited by Bella’s dedication through her involvement as a Junior Director on our Board of Directors, as well as her involvement in various committees such as the Junior Baking Committee and the Ambassador Committee.
She was the 2021 Paris Fair Ambassador and because of her love of entering exhibits into the fair, during her reign she worked with the board’s Junior Department to create an Ambassador’s Choice category for entries. Bella is currently in her final year at the University of Waterloo majoring in Biochemistry. She is an active member in the science community through her involvement with the Let’s Talk Science introductory to science programs, both her teaching assistant position and research project, and role as student director on the Faculty of Science Foundation! Bella continually brings a passion for her community, youth involvement and education paired with her welcoming personality everywhere she goes! From all of us at the PAS, congratulations Bella!!
