The Quest for Excellence Program recognizes the pursuits in
leadership and community contributions of Western Canadian students.
High school students graduating in 2012 from British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, North West and Yukon Territories are encouraged
to write an essay to convey the contributions they have made to enrich
the lives of others and their communities, through leadership,
motivation, volunteering and participation in charitable events or
fundraising.
“We are amazed at charitable contributions these young adults are
making within their communities,” says Marie Sheppy, Senior Coordinator,
Corporate Affairs, RE/MAX of Western Canada. “These outstanding
students recognize that building a great community and future starts
with caring and supporting local programs and organizations that make a
profound difference in everyday lives.”
Sixteen winners will be selected from entries received on-line
at remax-western.ca. Each winner will receive a $1,000.00 RE/MAX Quest
for Excellence bursary. All 16 bursary recipients will be placed in a
draw and lucky student will receive a hot air balloon ride for two from
closest major city. The application deadline is March 04, 2012. Award
recipients will be notified in May 9, 2012, with a formal presentation
at the students’ commencement ceremonies.
“It is an honour and a privilege to recognize our outstanding young
adults in Western Canada for their achievements and contributions,”
says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western
Canada.
