Since 2008, the Foundation has been giving Citizenship Bursaries to graduating students of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board. The graduate nominated for this bursary works as volunteer within the community (family, school, neighbourhood, city, church, charitable or non-profit organization, etc.) Through his/her commitment, individual or collective, the nominee contributes to the well-being and betterment of society.

We are proud to recognize these students who have been role models for their peers.

Since its creation in 2004, the objectives of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Foundation have been to promote and sustain educational, technological, artistic and athletic programs. The Foundation has contributed almost $1,000,000 to the schools and centres of the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board by contributing to various projects and initiatives.
