Nautical Professional Education Society of Canada
We have the pleasure to inform you that we have awarded the 3rd Annual Bursary to Mr Rodney Amos of Victoria.
He recently finished his courses Ship Construction and Stability for his Masters Near Coastal Certification at Camosun College.
He was most convincing in his application for this Bursary and we acknowledge Camosun College for the superb work that they deliver for sailors like Rodney.
We know that Capt. Brian would be proud of the work being done in his name.
The International Sailors Society (Canada) is now accepting applications for its Maritime Bursary created in honour of its long-serving director and corporate secretary, Sue Hanby. The bursary is open to students who are enrolling in marine-related studies with a recognized educational institution, however, please note that preference will be given to students who are preparing for a sea-going career.
