2025 Ralph Moore Memorial Bursary Recipients Announced!

Since 2019, the Creston Community Forest honours the legacy of Ralph Moore by supporting local students as they pursue their post-secondary journeys through the Ralph Moore Memorial Bursary — and this year, we are thrilled to announce two outstanding recipients:

 Ewan Gratton

 Emma Lecompte

These students impressed our Board with their strong academic records, thoughtful applications, and commitment to their education.

The Ralph Moore Bursary, ranging from $2,000 to $5,000, is awarded to students in the Central Kootenay region and the selection is made by our Board of Directors.

Congratulations, Ewan and Emma — we enjoy supporting the community’s youth!
