Two local secondary school graduates have made history as the first recipients of scholarships dedicated exclusively to Indigenous students pursuing post-secondary education in the healthcare field.

Madeline Carson, a graduate of Peninsula Shores District School, and Jordin DesRosiers from Grey Highlands Secondary School were presented with the awards at a ceremony in June. The scholarships were made possible through a partnership between Brightshores Health System and Medical Surgical & Safety Supplies (MSS), a certified Indigenous company supplying personal protective equipment to Brightshores’ hospitals.

The initiative aims to support Indigenous students entering healthcare programs, while also advancing reconciliation and building a more culturally safe and inclusive healthcare system in Grey Bruce.
