Tourism Scholarships Awarded

Chelsea Woolhouse has been awarded one of two Tourism Saskatchewan Scholarships. A $500 scholarship is awarded annually to a second year SIAST Recreation and Tourism Management student. Woolhouse worked previously as Economic Development officer in Gravelbourg and served on the town’s tourism and museum boards. She was instrumental in planning the annual Summer Solstice Festival D’été. Last summer she worked at the Ness Creek Music Festival in Big River.

Troy Crowe received a $500 scholarship awarded annually to a Saskatchewan student enrolled in the Adventure Tourism & Outdoor Recreation (ATOR) program at Lakeland College in Vermillion, AB. Crowe fell in love with the outdoors after taking part in a Kinsmen Telemiracle 10-day trail ride at the age of eight. After high school, he explored the USA and Canada, inspired by the book Into the Wild by John Krauker, an adventure that ultimately led to entering the ATOR program. While there, he started riding bulls and certified as a PADI professional rescue diver.
