Wolseley Canada’s Indigenous Student Bursary reaches $150,000 milestone

Wolseley Canada has announced the Indigenous Student Bursary, part of its Building Brighter Futures program in partnership with Indspire, has reached the $150,000 milestone in its third year. The bursary will support indigenous students who are pursuing post-secondary education. It will provide funding for individual First Nation, Inuit and Metis students enrolled in full- and part-time studies in college, university, skilled trades, apprenticeships and technology programs. 

“We feel strongly that it is our corporate responsibility to help build stronger communities, and a key part of that is creating opportunities for young people to start a career,” said Kim Forgues, vice president of human resources at Wolseley Canada. “With this bursary program, we reflect on history and consider how we can better support Indigenous youth for a brighter future.”
