Dorothy Price-Songhees Nation Award

Award description

Mrs. Dorothy Price recognized the needs of Indigenous people who are seeking education to benefit their lives and their communities. In 1997, at her passing, she left an extraordinarily generous gift to Camosun College to support Indigenous students. In many Indigenous traditions there is a Treasure Box of precious gifts. To honour Mrs. Price's wishes, Camosun College has developed the Dorothy Price Treasure Box of Awards for Indigenous students. The awards that have been established recognize the four parts of human beings: the intellectual; the physical; the spiritual; and the emotional. Her generosity has resulted in us being able to provide the following awards to about 20 Indigenous students each year.
