Congratulations to the 2014 recipients of the UFCW Canada – BDM Scholarships!
Every year UFCW Canada offers 18 annual UFCW Canada – BDM Scholarships of $1,000 each to members and their children for post secondary study. Allocated by regions across Canada these union scholarships are named as a lasting tribute to three past leaders of our union: William Beggs, Fred Dowling, and Roméo Mathieu.
The recipients of the 2014 UFCW Canada – BDM Scholarships were announced on November 28, 2014.
“Congratulations to all the recipients,” says National President Meinema. “Education is empowerment, so we are proud that over the years the UFCW Canada – BDM Scholarships program has been able to help hundreds of UFCW Canada members and their children pursue their educational goals."
