About Scholarship
Jackie Lajeunesse was one of the biggest Ringette supporters that I have ever known. Jackie was always interested in young people who were involved in our sport and this scholarship opportunity was something she had talked about for a number of years.
Jackie was taken from us in October 2004 after a relatively short but very serious illness. Jackie was involved in administering associations in Rayside-Balfour and Sudbury. She was also a bench staff member as Assistant Coach or Manager on a number of teams and Officiating was always very close to Jackie’s heart. That’s why it’s fitting that all members of the Ontario Ringette Association are eligible for this scholarship opportunity. The Board of Directors for the Ontario Ringette Association is very pleased to have this scholarship named in Jackie’s honour.
We miss Jackie Lajeunesse very much and hope that this scholarship will keep her memory alive for many years to come. Special thanks to Jackie’s husband, Ken, and her daughters, for allowing us to use her name
