New memorial award for trades students<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Camosun College Foundation recently announced a new memorial award to assist carpentry, plumbing, and electrical students. The John Scheeren Building Excellence Memorial Award honours local builder John Scheeren and his 30 years of contributions to the local construction industry. Scheeren was a certified carpenter through Camosun who died in December of last year due to injuries on a construction site. Campbell Construction, Chard Development, and other industry organizations have contributed to the financial award, with the Camosun Foundation\u2019s goal being to raise enough funds to provide a $1,000 award to three students per year in perpetuity.<\/p>\n
