Two high school students in Sturgeon Falls are recipients of cash awards to make their post-secondary pursuits a little easier. Both were given $250 during the celebration of La Francophonie in Sturgeon Falls. Renee Lecuyer, who attends Ecole Secondaire Publique Northern was humbled to be one of the recipients. Lecuyer will pursue the assistant physiotherapy program at College Boreal. The other award recipient is Catherine O’Connor who is a student at Ecole Secondaire Catholique Franco Cite. O’Connor will take the bio-medical biology program at Laurentian University. Club Richelieu provided the grants to both girls who will study their respective post-secondary programs in French. The awarding of the education grants took place in front of a packed house at Club Calumet.
