As part of its 40th anniversary celebrations in 2017, BC Care Providers Association announced bursaries for up to 40 students currently enrolled in full-time post-secondary programs to attend the largest continuing care sector conference held in Western Canada.
This year, six students will receive an all-expenses paid experience at the 2019 Annual Conference from May 26th-28th, which includes meals, two-nights accommodation at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, and transportation. They will be given the opportunity to hear from high-profile speakers and experts, network with industry leaders, and gain insight into best practices and new models of care and technology in the sector.
BCCPA congratulates the following recipients of the 2019 bursary program:
Gauravjeet Singh – University of British Columbia (Master of Health Leadership and Policy)
Vivian Ling – Langara College (Gerontology)
Shalini Gambhir – University of Regina (Public Policy)
Kishore Seetharaman – Simon Fraser University (Gerontology)
Dalyce Gouin – Douglas College (Psychiatric Nursing)

“It touches my heart that we are able to provide an opportunity for students who are passionate about seniors care to be able to attend the Annual Conference and gain everlasting experiences and connections,” says BCCPA Director of Programs Snezana Ristovski. I look forward to meeting all the successful bursary recipients in Whistler and collaborating on “The Q Factor” in the continuing care sector.”
