Thank you to Score Promotions for donating to the Kay Taylor Memorial Bursary

Today in Canada we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We honour the survivors of Canada's residential school system, their families and communities, and we remember those children who never made it home.

This day is part of a broader effort toward truth and reconciliation and provides an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the country's colonial past, learn more about Indigenous history and cultures, and support healing processes within Indigenous communities​.

ONWAA wants to take the time today to thank Score Promotions for its generous donation. This gives us the opportunity to support two additional bursaries for students, when we send them out in January of 2025. This year, Score Promotions has donated these funds in honour and recognition of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples., Score Promotions is proud to sponsor the Kay Taylor Memorial Bursary, offered by the Ontario Native Welfare Administrators Association (ONWAA).  

ONWAA is a membership owned, non-profit organization in Ontario, founded to address the needs of First Nation Social Service Administrators. They are dedicated to the well-being of their members and the successful delivery of social programs. They provide training, professional development, and resources tailored towards specific needs of individual communities. 

This bursary honours ONWAA founder Kathleen Taylor, of Curve Lake First Nation. It is awarded annually to students in their graduating year of a post-secondary program (preferably in a social discipline), belonging to an ONWAA community.

By sponsoring this bursary, Score Promotions hopes to create a lasting change in the lives of Indigenous students who are working to further their education. We want to help preserve Kay Taylor’s legacy and her dedication to the importance of social assistance within Ontario First Nation communities.
