University of Toronto

Recipient of the 2022 John Bousfield Bursary

""Planning students in professional graduate programs in Canada do not have access to the same funding packages as students in research programs, and the cost of tuition for professional programs is usually higher. This is a barrier to entry for many potential students. Tuition debt can also steer graduates away from social justice work in the public and non-profit sector toward higher-paying jobs in the private sector, often in real estate development and resource extraction. I am grateful to receive this award from the CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund, which will help with my tuition debt."

Ryan O'Toole

University of Northern British Columbia

Recipient of the 2022 Ted Fobert and Robert Tennant Planning Merit Bursary

"I am honoured to receive the Ted Fobert & Robert Tennant Planning Merit Bursary and extend huge gratitude to the CIP/ICU Planning Student Trust Fund for their consideration. This support will further my studies in understanding the roles and responsibilities municipalities have (or should have) towards Indigenous Peoples, where local accountability is often abdicated under the perception of provincial or federal government jurisdiction over Indigenous bodies. It is my ultimate belief that by prioritizing the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples we will create space in Canadian urban centres for unique perspectives in sustainability grounded in philosophies born of these lands that have existed since time immemorial. T'oyaxsut 'nüün."
