In October 2020, donated funds made in memory of LSWC founder board members Brian Elliot and Brian Rosche, were made into a bursary for watershed residents. To date, we have received over $6,000 towards the bursary. We are grateful for these important contributions to support the next generation of watershed scientists.

If you are interested in making a donation, please contact the LSWC at (780) 523-9800, info@lswc.ca.
