At the regular county council meeting in Sydenham on July 15, former South Frontenac mayor and county warden Gary Davison, and current mayor of Frontenac Islands and county warden Dennis Doyle, presented Maggie Clark with a special one-time 150th anniversary scholarship award on behalf of the county. The $1,000 bursary was open to all senior students residing in the County of Frontenac who are planning to pursue a post-secondary education.
Clark was chosen by members of the 150th Anniversary Planning Committee, who were looking for students, who throughout their school careers, have shown an enthusiasm for celebrating and enhancing life in their community through sustainable means, be they environmental, economic, social or cultural. Students were asked to write a 1000-word essay about these pursuits.
After accepting the award, Clark thanked council and spoke about her various pursuits, many of which are art-related. She has her own up-cycling art business in which she creates unique items from recycled materials. She currently displays and sells her work at the Frontenac Farmers Market in Verona. Clark plans to further her studies and will be pursuing a post-secondary commerce degree at university. Congratulations to Maggie Clark on her well-deserved award.
