Each year Langley Heritage Society offers a $1,000 scholarship in memory of heritage and conservation advocate — and longtime LHS member — Bays Blackhall. The scholarship is open to all high school students in Langley, and acknowledges academic achievement, community service and need. This year’s recipient is Sarese Dawe, a graduate of Langley Fundamental Middle & Secondary School, who is now pursuing a career in nursing at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. An honour roll student, she earned the Principal’s Award for outstanding work habits and achievement; she also plays soccer and volleyball, enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, camping and travelling. Community activities include volunteering as a coach for the West Coast Volleyball Club and with the BC Children’s Hospital Fundraising program. Sarese is looking forward to starting her career in nursing, and hopes to one day work in the Pediatrics Division at BC Children’s Hospital. Langley Heritage Society wishes her much success and happiness!
