By Rosalind Russell – It has been a long-time tradition for Manitoulin Secondary School, 56 years, to host their annual bursaries and awards night just before the Christmas break and this year was no exception.
This year, there was a new special bursary added to honour the legacy of the late Constable Marc Hovigh of the Manitoulin OPP, who died in the line of duty five years ago.
The OPP Youth Foundation was represented by retired OPP Provincial Constables Marie Ford and Steve Redmond at the Manitoulin Secondary School Award Night last Thursday evening.
