Gabrielle and Benjamin and their parents were so grateful for their bursaries this past summer. Both sister and brother were accepted for the bursaries. This meant that they were occupied for the week and learned new art skills during the summer.

“Their teachers Nadine Argo and Gunsu Ozan were fantastic. Their creativity and professionalism are amazing. Thanks for the bursaries for both of our kids. We are hoping that they can continue with their art classes in the future.”

We were also encouraged by a young refugee boy named Jack:

A refugee family was sponsored by a downtown church. The church applied for a bursary for their 13-year-old boy named Jack to attend an animation camp. Jack was known by his family for relying on his drawing and painting skills during difficult times while he waited to come to Canada. Jack learned a great deal about animation and shared a short film with his family in the camp. He and his family were so grateful to the school for giving him this opportunity.
