Maggie Cumming Legacy Fund Scholarship

Do you know all the secret trails on the island? Can you hike Mt. Gardner in the dark backwards? Are you happiest when you’re lost in the woods? TheMaggie Cumming Legacy Bursary might be your speed.

Maggie Cumming, a devout hiker and environmentalist, left more than her footprints on Bowen Island. She generously created a legacy fund to preserve, and expand, Bowen’s trail system. She also directed that a $500.00 award, the Maggie Cumming Legacy Bursary, be granted to a Bowen Island student of good academic standing who shares Maggie’s love of the environment and needs a little financial help. Two recipients of this bursary will be selected each year.
