Student Award and Scholarship

Sharon Sa

Simon Fraser University

I’m incredibly honored by this recognition because it elucidates an often-overlooked discussion between climate change and health. Wildfire smoke is an undeniable, urgent reminder of why we must adopt policies that break down silos and centre the needs of those most vulnerable.

Oscar Vincente

Royal Roads University

I’m honoured to receive this recognition from DRI Canada, a national leader in advancing emergency preparedness and resilience. This award highlights the importance of inclusive, community-focused approaches, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to a profession dedicated to protecting people, reducing risk, and building a more resilient Canada.
