IODE Ontario Lucy Morrison Memorial

• Study Year: 2nd Year - Post Grad
• Province: Ontario

This fund was established in memory of a beloved IODE Provincial President, Lucy Morrison.

Bursaries up to $1,000 are awarded to post-secondary students at colleges and universities in Ontario who demonstrate financial need, have completed one full year of study and are Canadian citizens.

Thanks to the generosity of the IODE chapters who donate to the IODE Ontario Lucy Morrison Memorial Fund for Education, to make these bursaries possible.  

We have drawn on excerpts from this book as well as IODE ... A History in Step with Canada’s 20th Century and other documents.  We gratefully acknowledge these sources of information.

There is a wealth of information at hand.  Far too much to present here, unfortunately.  Picking and choosing from this vault of good deeds and interesting stories has been a challenge.  IODE Ontario has played a large part in the history of IODE due to our large membership as well as having the honour of having the IODE Canada office in Toronto.  As a result, our members have played significant roles in leadership and the decision making process of both IODE Ontario and IODE Canada.  We can be proud that our province has had such a major role in the accomplishments of IODE in general.

The IODE story is about one women’s vision to improve the lives of others.  One idea, one thought ... that changed the lives of so many people around the world.  One thought ... that built a national association of caring and committed women that has endured into its second century.
