On June 7th we celebrated with the 5 recipients of Catalyst Scholarships for graduating students from the Halton Public School board. Pictured above with Catalyst founders Shirley and Doug Alexander are: KJ Lukas, Ashley Haick, Haylee Bloxham, Neel Dhingani, and Bhavini Tailor. In addition to a financial gift (administered by the good people at the Halton Learning Foundation), each of these young leaders will be receiving a year of monthly mentoring from Catalyst.During our reception they received some words of wisdom from Doug on how to maintain pursuit of their dreams in the midst of the realities of life.
