Send local junior volunteers to participate in BCAHA youth conferences.
Provide bursaries every year for Grade 12 graduates who are entering a health care program. Memorial funds are often directed as bursaries for 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students who are pursuing health care careers. Our junior volunteers are always considered when making bursary decisions.
