Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the first recipients of the Price McIntosh Bursary, for the 2021-22 academic year.
In memory of Walter Charles Price and Adis Florence Mary McIntosh, the Price McIntosh Bursary was created in 2021 to encourage Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation), persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities to pursue studies in fields related to libraries and archives. The bursary is consistent with the Government of Canada's commitment to building a more inclusive country and integrating a diversity of perspectives into the national narrative.
The 2021-22 recipients are:
- Courtney Myron, studying library and information technology at Red River College, Manitoba
- Laila El Mugammar, pursuing graduate studies in library and information science at Western University, Ontario
- Mandeep Kaur (Atwal) Nilson, studying library and information technology at Langara College, British Columbia
LAC congratulates the recipients and expresses its pride in helping students to reach their full potential while promoting inclusion in careers in libraries and archives.
