Tourism Tofino Scholarship Awarded to Ucluelet Secondary School Graduates
In its second year, Tourism Tofino has awarded our annual scholarships totalling $20,000 to four gradutating students of Ucluelet Secondary School.
As part of our destination stewardship efforts, the board of directors of Tourism Tofino identified an opportunity to create and manage a scholarship program to support young locals who are interested in pursuing a career in tourism. This initiative would serve to support the local tourism industry by fostering a new generation of local tourism entrepreneurs, while at the same time giving back to the communities on the west coast of Vancouver Island.
Cathy Thicke, from the Tourism Tofino Scholarships Committee was on hand to present them on our behalf. This years recipients were:
- Pohline Cause
- Clayton Valk
- Sophia Rodgers
- Matylda Rodgers
We would like to congratulate all of the 2024 graduates in our region, and we look forward to following the future success of the four 2024 scholarship recipients.
