Maureen Smith was a beloved member of the Rotary Club Guelph Trillium for many years until her death in January 2023. As Chair of the club’s Sunshine Committee, she provided leadership to the care of and compassion for club members. Proud of her 45 career as a nurse, she was a tireless volunteer for many charities and her community.
Through the generous donation of Maureen’s family, represented by her husband Peter, our club will give out a scholarship every year to a high school student embarking on a career in nursing (either RPN or RN program).
This spring local high schools had the opportunity to nominate graduating students and our selection committee of Peter, his daughter Laura, Anne, Laurie, Dan and I reviewed the nominations.
We reviewed the nominations and based our selection on the following criteria, all characteristics that Maureen had and shared:
How the student has contributed to the community and their school through volunteering
How they have demonstrated a positive attitude and caring for others
And
How they demonstrate the ability to form connections with those in need of help and support.

This year we are proud to give out the scholarship to Sidney Ndreau from Guelph CVI. Sidney will be taking her Bachelor of Nursing Science at University 0f Western Ontario this fall.
