$51,800 Awarded Through Arnal Boys Memorial Bursary For Young Farmers Award

Jun 01, 2017

The Arnal Boys Memorial Bursary for Young Farmers Awards was handed out Sunday in Eastend.

This year $51,800 was paid out to 16 students for their agriculture related projects.

Chantel Henderson is the boy’s sister and one of the directors for the program and says this year they also honoured the memory of three other community leaders:

"We gave three awards in memory of people from the community and surrounding area," she said. "We feel it is very important to keep the memories alive of loved ones who can't be with us. So awards were given in memory of Blaine Sanford, J.D. Gordon and Tom Pearson as well."

Some of the agriculture related projects receiving funding for this year vary from funding a water system to water a potato operation to setting up or expanding chicken, sheep, pork and beef production whether it’s thru new pens or the purchase of new animals.

"Blaze Okraincee is from Glentworth and he was looking to buy Bred Heifers," Henderson said. " Jordan Anton is from Fox Valley and he was looking to start an egg-laying business. Ben Dumontel is from Claydon, Saskatchewan and he goes to school in Frontier. He was looking to take an A.I. Course."
