Bursary
The Rebecca Kelln Métis Bursary Fund
Rebecca was a dedicated employee of Apeetogosan (Métis) Development Inc. who began working here in 2007. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and after a courageous battle, she succumbed to the illness in 2014. She will be fondly remembered for her kindness not only to her co-workers who had the pleasure of working alongside her but to anyone she met. Rebecca had an instinctive ability to make our clients feel welcome when they entered our doors and therefore she had a positive impact as a front line staff member.
Apeetogosan started offering bursaries for first year Métis students back in 2007 and it was Rebecca’s excitement and her full support of the bursary program that we will remember.
Therefore to remember and honor our colleague and friend, it is with great pleasure that we hereby name the bursary program in her memory.
