A.W. Campbell Memorial Scholarship

This award is presented in memory of Archibald Campbell. Mr. Campbell was born in 1888 and was a farmer and an ardent conservationist. Through his will, the Campbell farm (now known as the A.W. Campbell Conservation Area) was able to be purchased by the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority so that future generations would be able to enjoy the forests and rolling landscape of his property. This scholarship was made possible through a donation to a trust fund by two private individuals.

Up to two candidates each year will receive $1,000.
