Ringette Canada Awards Scholarship to Kaitlyn Keeping
Ringette Canada announced the recipients of the eleventh annual Agnes Jacks Scholarship Awards and the ninth annual Cara Brown Ringette Scholarship Awards at the closing ceremonies of the 2008 Tim Hortons Canadian ringette championships held last month in Charlottetown, PEI. Receiving one of the five national Agnes Jacks Scholarships was our very own Kaitlyn Keeping from Timberlea, Nova Scotia! The only Nova Scotian to receive such an award!
Agnes Jacks, who sadly passed away on April 1, 2005, was the widow of Sam Jacks, who invented the sport of ringette back in 1963 in North Bay, Ontario. While the sport lost Mr. Jacks' guiding hand through his untimely passing in 1975, the ringette community continued to benefit greatly from Agnes' dedicated and enthusiastic promotion of the sport, and the ringette community appropriately laid claim to Mrs. Jacks as their very own goodwill ambassador. The Agnes Jacks Scholarship Award is presented to ringette players, coaches and/or officials who have demonstrated a strong academic performance and a commitment to the sport of ringette. Recipients receive a $1,000 scholarship towards post-secondary education and also receive a scholarship award certificate recognizing their achievements.
Please join me in congratulating Kaitlyn on her receiving such a prestigious scholarship! I speak on behalf of the HSMRA, when I say that we are all very proud of your accomplishment!
