Metchosin Community Association Award winners!
Metchosin Community Association Award winners!
Alysha Becker (Pictured with MCA President Kyara Kahakauwila) is one of the first recipients of a $1,000 Metchosin Community Award.
The award will help her pursue her educational goals at the University of Edinburgh as she works toward a degree in Veterinary studies.
Will Jackson also won an MCA Award. This award recognizes Will's committed connections to Metchosin through family, school, work, and play. His hard work and diligence are truly inspiring, and we are confident that you will continue to excel as you pursue your Bachelor's Of Music degree Humber Polytechnic in Toronto.
We are grateful to many community volunteers who spend countless hours on fundraising events that have helped to make these awards possible; notably, the Mighty Metchosin Garage Sale and the community metal bin.
