Indigenous Youth Bursary Donations

NOW Accepting Applications for 2025!

The Indigenous Youth Bursary in loving memory of Rhiannon Aird is back again for its third year. We are currently accepting donations!

About the Bursary

Rhiannon Aird was a Service Supervisor out of our Alderville office. She loved the arts, and she loved working with our agency and the children, youth and families we serve. Her family alongside our Service team created this bursary in her memory and continue to donate regularly to the fund in her legacy.

This bursary is for First Nations, Inuit and/or Métis Youth between the ages of 16–23 who are currently working alongside our agency and have a financial need that do not have access to other funding sources to pursue creative and traditional pathways. A few examples of eligible activities and programming:

• On the Land Programs
• Traditional Craft Making Lessons & Supplies
• Musical Instruments & Lessons
• Wellness Certifications & Retreats
• Regalia Making Supplies & Lessons
