Horizon Maritime Takes The Lead To Support Mi’kmaq Learners Healthcare Bursary Thanks to a generous $250,000 gift from Horizon
Maritime Services Ltd., DGH Foundation has established a renewable bursary program for Mi’kmaq learners interested in pursuing post- secondary education in healthcare-related fields. Working in partnership with Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) and Horizon Maritime, the newly- created DGH Foundation-Horizon Maritime Mi’kmaq Learners Healthcare Bursary at NSCC will provide up to five $3,000 renewable bursaries each year to Mi’kmaq students from across the province. Dartmouth General Hospital and Horizon Maritime share a common vision in building diversity and inclusion within the healthcare sector. By investing in the education and professional development of Mi’kmaq learners, Horizon Maritime is actively contributing to the creation of a more representative and inclusive healthcare workforce in Nova Scotia.
“Horizon Maritime is very pleased to contribute to the vital work that the Dartmouth General Hospital Foundation does by supporting the Mi’kmaq Learners Healthcare Bursary Program. Horizon’s ability to make this commitment to this very important program is a direct result of dedicated personnel who have worked so hard to make Horizon Maritime a success. The opportunity to provide Mi’kmaq students financial support while they pursue a career in the Health Care Sector is one that we could not pass up. At the end of the day all Nova Scotians will benefit from this program and Horizon is very pleased to play a part in this.” — Steve Widmeyer, CEO, Horizon Maritime
