Bill Lamb Memorial

Bill Lamb was born, raised and educated in Windsor, Ontario. During his twenty-three years of employment with The Windsor Board of Education, he served as a classroom teacher, Assistant Coordinator of Programs for the Gifted and Developmentally Challenged, Program Leader for the Community Living Program at Walkerville and Special Education Services Consultant. Bill will always be remembered for his work; supporting the needs of students with developmental challenges at both local and provincial levels. He firmly believed that the educational goals for students with developmental challenges are no different from those for any other students. Bill promoted assisting individuals to perform and achieve at the maximum of their ability. He focused on providing equal access and opportunity for all people with developmental challenges in our community.   In addition to maintaining above average academic standing, demonstrating good character as well as leadership, the scholarship recipient must confirm attendance to a College in the Developmental Support Worker program.

He stipulated that the funds be distributed to students who were pursing their post-secondary studies at a university. In addition to participating in school activities, he required that bursary recipients must demonstrate strong leadership ability, initiative and academic achievement.

Robert Little & Debra Deane Little

The Robert Little and Debra Deane Little Scholarships are outstanding in both their value and positive impact as they truly change the trajectory of our students’ lives. The Little and Deane Little scholarships are awarded to 10 91´ÎÔª graduating students at a value of $10,500 per year, for up to 4 years of post-secondary studies at a Canadian university (for a total per student amount of $42,000). We are so thankful for the generous financial support provided by Bob and Debra.

Students awarded the Little and Deane Little scholarships have demonstrated academic competence. They have also received a supporting letter of reference from a teacher at their school and a recommendation from the school team made up of guidance staff and administration. These students have also demonstrated a commitment to non-academic pursuits; having been involved in activities that allow them to hone their leadership skills, well-rounded extra-curricular participation and commitment to their community.
