BEEDIE LUMINARIES – Now announcing the recipients of the annual recognition awards for the 2019 – 2020 academic year!
It is hard to believe our inaugural cohort students are now in their sophomore year! Despite several challenges and transitions they faced in their first year of post-secondary, we have been blown away by their remarkable resilience, peer-to-peer support and academic achievements.
This outstanding work didn’t go unnoticed and based on Ryan Beedie’s recommendation, our inaugural Beedie Luminaries Annual Recognition Awards program was launched!
