What does community mean to you?
That was the question posed to graduating high students around the area as part of the Community First Scholarship program being given out by My Broadcasting Corporation. Mya Simpson, who received $500, says the idea of community has played an important role in her life.
Simpson plans on getting involved in the health sector and is going to be attending the University of Guelph for Biomedical Engineering. Another winner was a budding filmmaker who has been given $2500 to help pursue his dream. Mason Mantha has received the Community First Scholarship awarded by My Broadcasting Corporation. It is a simple motto, but Mantha believes community means helping your neighbours and treating them the way you want to be treated.
