On July 22nd, 2025, the Yellowknife Community Foundation held an award ceremony at Somba K’e Civic Plaza, celebrating the year’s
cohort of scholarship recipients. It was a uniquely Northern sunny evening full of shaken hands, bright smiles, and even teary eyes.

We would like to thank our fund advisors and community partners for personally presenting awards.

• Amanda Mallon: Bella’s Veterinary Student Award Fund
• Shawna Lampi-Legaree and Sean Legaree: Ian Legaree Youth Leadership Fund
• Robert and Anna Tumchewics: John Tumchewics Memorial Fund and Con Employees’ Benevolent Fund

And of course, we extend our congratulations once again to our 2025 student awardees. Click here for a full overview of the recipients.
