CANADIAN CONFERENCE BURSARY
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
The Canadian Conference of the International Union of Operating Engineers is calling for
applications for ten (10) bursaries of seven hundred fifty ($750.00) dollars. These educational
bursaries are intended to provide financial assistance to IUOE member’s dependents.
The bursary recipient must be entering the first year or subsequent of a full-time course of
study (at least two years in length) leading to a diploma, certificate or degree from any
recognized public Canadian college or university. Each bursary will be payable at the
commencement of the first or subsequent term of the student’s year of at least a two (2) year
program.
Applicants from the following five regions will be considered for the respective bursary:
1. Atlantic Canada (P.E.I., New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland)
2. Quebec and Ontario (Gary O’Neil Bursary)
3. Saskatchewan and Manitoba (Brian Woznesensky Memorial Bursary)
4. British Columbia
5. Alberta
Applications must be supported by transcripts of high school achievement and
accompanied by a detailed letter of recommendation from an individual with personal
academic knowledge of the candidate outlining reasons why the bursary should be
awarded. In addition, applicants must submit a one thousand (1000) word essay on the
reason why the bursary will be of assistance or the impact that being a dependent of a
union member has had on the applicants life.
The deadline for receipt of the applications is August 1
st
.
The decision process will be handled internally by a committee from the Executive of the
Canadian Conference of Operating Engineers.
The Canadian Conference of Operating Engineers is pleased to be able to offer some financial
assistance to the dependents of our members. Please ensure that this bursary is known to
your entire IUOE local union membership.

Canadian Conference Secretary Treasurer
