Farm Safety Essay Makes Cents
The Institute of Agricultural Rural and Environmental Health (I.ARE.H) at
the University of Saskatchewan is offering one $1,000 scholarship to a grade
12 student who writes the best 1,000-word essay on farm safety. Participants
must plan to enter post-secondary education in fall of 2003.
The scholarship was made possible by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural
Municipalities (S.A.R.M.), through sales of their history book, "The
Building of a Province: Commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the
Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities." The S.A.R.M. Board of
Directors contributed the funds raised to the I.ARE.H in 1995 and the
scholarship is being maintained by its Founding Chairs Program.
Students have a choice of two topics for the essay:
The Importance of Safety and Health on Our Farm
Safety and Health Hazards on Our Farm
Last years winner was Melissa Schachtel from the R.M. of Eye Hill, #382,
Macklin. She is attending the University of Saskatchewan.
For information and application forms, students may contact their local R.M.
office, Rural Service Centre or the I.ARE.H at (306) 966-6643. The
application form can be downloaded from
