In all, $11,000 – 22 bursaries – were awarded to secondary school graduates newly admitted to their first year at one of the four Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles campuses. Fate smiled on 19 students from throughout the territory whose names were drawn as recipients of $500 welcome bursaries. Even though the fund attribution program provides one bursary for each high school or adult education centre from its territory, some schools or centres are not present on the recipients list due to a lack of applicants. One $500 French Immersion bursary was attributed to Louis Gabriel Sutton whereas the Eng- lish Immersion bursary was handed out to Juliette Keith. Charlie Rioux, a student at the Carleton Campus, was rewarded for her leadership with a $500 scholarship for her remarkable involvement in her community. Entrance bursary program – Welcome: These bursaries are exclusively for graduates from each of the secondary schools or Adult Education Centres located on the Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine administrative region or from ESSB territory who choose to enrol in a training program at one of the four campuses of the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles. One bursary is awarded following a ran- dom draw for eligible students in each of the high schools or Adult Ed. Centre. These $500 bursaries encourage young people to remain in the region. Entrance bursary program – Immersion: This bursary is for students who undertake their col- lege studies in total or partial immersion at the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles.

    Contract 400119680 ESTABLISHED • MAY 1975 VOLUME 46 / NO 50, DECEMBER 16, 2020 $1.50 (Tax included) Santa’s Village in Paspebiac more popular than anticipated Gilles Gagné PASPEBIAC – Paspebiac’s initiative to put up the North Pole Village at the municipal rest area is generating such popularity that the expectations of the town’s culture department are already shattered, in a positive way! Close to 200 children had deposited a letter for Santa Claus two weeks prior to Christmas. Chantale Robitaille, the Town’s director of culture, explains that the initiative was organized in the same spirit that prevailed for the recycled bicycles that decorate the municipality in the summer, a project for which Paspebiac won a Quebec-wide award among the Villages-relais of the province. Cont'd on page 29 Siblings Jace (9) and Kayliey Whalen (6) of Port Daniel, were eager to sit on the ski-doos at Santa’s village. Friends Kylianne Horth (7) and Danika Huard (9) of New Carlisle, check out Santa’s clothesline.
