Scholarship in Memory of Karan Barker Recipients

Dec 1, 2020 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Scholarships in Memory of Karan Barker are presented each year to students who are children or grandchildren of RAHB members or RAHB staff. All recipients are attending or will be attending university, college or trade school. These young people have demonstrated academic excellence and a high level of involvement in their school or the community – often both.

We are awarding four scholarships of $1,500 each, totaling $6,000 for this year. We began awarding these scholarships in 2001, and with this year’s awards, we have helped 82 students with $118,500 in total scholarship money.

Please see below some information on each of our recipients.

Our first recipient is SOPHIE HUGHES, daughter of Honor Hughes from Homelife Professionals Realty. She is a graduate of Ancaster High School and is currently enrolled at the University of Guelph, majoring in Theatre Studies.

Sophie has received several awards for drama, including the 2020 Theatre Ancaster Drama Award, the 2019 Ancaster High School Musical Theatre Award, and the 2017 Ancaster High School Drama Award. So, I believe it is safe to say that Sophie is in a very appropriate program at Guelph.

Our second recipient is TARA LEWYCKYJ, daughter of Ron Lewyckyj from Re/Max Escarpment Realty. She is a graduate of Bishop Tonnos Catholic Secondary School and is currently enrolled at Brock University in the Bachelor of Kinesiology program.

Among the many things discovered through her studies in the Kinesiology program, Tarahas learned about different concepts of the human body and understands how the body works during different day-to-day activities. She has also played, as well as coached, soccer and this has made her realize her passion for helping others through physical activity

Our third recipient is MARK MADDOX, son of Andrea Harley-Maddox from Re/Max Escarpment Realty. Mark is a graduate of Sir Allan MacNab Secondary School and is currently enrolled at Trent University completing a Bachelor of Science in Health – Biology.

Mark has many educational experiences working with wildlife, including: collecting terrestrial and wetland plants throughout Ontario; assisting a project investigating the breeding ecology of Canvasbacks in Southwestern Manitoba; live-trapping and handling Striped skunks, Red foxes, Raccoons, and Virginia opossums with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry; and working within the Aquatic Toxicology Unit for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

Our fourth and final recipient is JACK PHIBBS, son of Tanya Clark and grandson of Bruce MacDonald both from Royal LePage G. Bruce MacDonald. He is a graduate of Cayuga High School and is currently enrolled at the University of Waterloo in the Applied Health Sciences program.

Jack played in the Ontario Hockey League with the Flint FireBirds Hockey Club, and while there participated in many community events – such as helping serve food at a homeless shelter, engaging with children living at a local foster care facility, and meeting with fans of allages at local hospitals. This donation of his time and the impact he made in the greater-Flint community made him the mostdeserving player of Humanitarian of the Year for the 2018-19 season for the Flint Firebirds team.

Congratulations to all of our very deserving recipients.
