Bursary named after Town Hero

A man who left quite a legacy in the town of Fort Frances, will continue to help others, two years after his passing.

Town Councillor, Rick Weedenhoff, has set up a bursary in the name of Former Coach, volunteer and Town Councillor – Struan Gilson.

Weedenhoff says the motivation to start the bursary stems from a friendship and their passion for athletics.

Weedenhoff is hoping the bursary will take off this year.

It will be available for students at Fort High moving into post secondary education in the field of sport recreation or sport education.
