Call for Submissions: 2025 Catherine Lalonde Memorial Scholarships for Wood Related Research<\/h2>\n

Catherine Lalonde\u00a0Memorial Scholarships\u00a0are\u00a0presented to\u00a0graduate students, enrolled\u00a0at\u00a0Canadian Universities,\u00a0who\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0excellence in their studies of structural wood\u00a0products\u00a0or wood design. The Canadian Wood Council (CWC)\u00a0invites submissions from graduate students in engineering,\u00a0architecture, and\u00a0wood science.\u00a0Submitted projects must\u00a0demonstrate\u00a0their value and impact on Canadian-made structural wood products and\/or their role in advancing domestic wood construction.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0CWC will award two scholarships to graduate students whose outstanding wood research not only\u00a0demonstrates\u00a0academic\u00a0excellence but also mirrors the unwavering passion for the wood industry exemplified by Catherine Lalonde, in whose honor the scholarships are named.<\/p>\n

Catherine, a professional engineer, was a passionate representative of our industry who relentlessly championed the use of wood in residential and commercial construction\u00a0during her 10 years with\u00a0the\u00a0CWC. She\u00a0served as\u00a0president of the CWC from 2000\u00a0until\u00a02003\u00a0when\u00a0she tragically\u00a0lost her battle with cancer.\u00a0This award was\u00a0established\u00a0to commemorate Catherine’s memory and perpetuate the legacy of excellence and advocacy she bestowed upon the Canadian wood products industry throughout her influential tenure at the CWC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
