Congratulations to Sarah Carruthers, recipient of a George Mussallem Scholarship! 🎓

We're proud to support Sarah as she takes the next steps in her post-secondary education. Through scholarships like this, we're able to invest in local students, celebrate their achievements, and help create opportunities for the next generation.

Wishing Sarah all the best as she continues her educational journey!

Today, members of the Maple Ridge Community Foundation attended the Abbotsford Regional Nonprofit Roundtable, joining nonprofit leaders from across the region for a day of meaningful conversations, collaboration, and connection.

Hosted by Imagine Canada and Vantage Point, the event brought together organizations to explore the challenges and opportunities facing the nonprofit sector, share valuable insights, and discuss ways to build stronger, more resilient communities.

We're grateful for opportunities like these to learn from others and strengthen the work we do right here in Maple Ridge.
