The BCSGA would like to congratulate Elizabeth Harris as the recipient of the 2009 BC Shellfish Industry Award in the amount of $700.

Elizabeth is currently enrolled in Vancouver Island University’s Fisheries and Aquaculture program.

Scholarships and bursaries assist many students in pursuing their career goals. It is estimated that 40% of VIU’s students require financial assistance and many could not complete their education with the help of scholarships and bursaries.

The BCSGA is proud to support the development of the shellfish industry by ensuring that the next generation is offered all the opportunities possible to pursue a career in aquaculture.
