Ruby Vie, a graduate of Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School, was the 2024 recipient of the CVN Bursary. Ruby credits curiosity as the incentive that resulted in her academic success. She was involved in school Environment, UN, and Arts clubs and was part of the Comox Youth Action Council. She had volunteered with Project Watershed, and her capstone project for school was creating a pollinator garden.
Ruby will be attending BCIT to earn a bachelor’s degree, doing two consecutive programs, Fish, Wildlife and Recreation and Ecological Restoration, each two years long. BCIT is her choice because of the practical skills training it offers. She plans to eventually obtain accreditation to become a professional biologist. She told us that this path will allow her to contribute to ecosystem and environmental health, as they face monumental challenges.
Congratulations, Ruby!
