PADDLE CANADA – BMM SCHOLARSHIP 2011
Bill Mason Memorial Scholarship 2011 in Paddle Canada
About:
Conceived in 1971, Paddle Canada (formerly the Canadian Recreational Canoeing Association) was derived from the need of recreational paddling enthusiasts from across Canada to co-ordinate the efforts of non-competitive canoeing and kayaking.
Detail:
The Bill Mason Memorial Scholarship Fund is a tribute to the late Bill Mason, a Canadian recognized both nationally and internationally as an avid canoeist, environmentalist, filmmaker, photographer, artist and public speaker. Established by Paddle Canada in 1990, with the permission and input of the Mason Family, the scholarship is intended to incorporate some of the characteristics that made Bill Mason unique and to help ensure that the memory, spirit and ideals that he represented are kept fresh in the minds of Canadians.
