The Lloyd Ludgate Award for Returning Students

Biographical Note - Lloyd Ludgate

Lloyd Ambrose Ludgate, 1905-1998. Husband, father, grandfather; brother, son, altar boy; successful business man, athlete, fluent in French and English; gentleman, and raconteur. All true of Lloyd Ludgate, but his one consistent quality was his determination to encourage people in their endeavours (offering invaluable advice only when asked). His rapier-wit and wonderful mind was not honed in university although he would have reached the heights of his many talents had he been given the opportunity. He was particularly interested in the pursuit of higher knowledge and heartily encouraged those close to him to pursue their dreams at university. He depended greatly and unabashedly upon his Catholic faith to guide him through his 93 years. He is remembered by those who knew and loved him as a true Renaissance Man.

The Louise Rainey Bursary

Biographical Note - Louise Rainey

Louise Rainey, I902-1960. If you "Google" the name Louise Rainey, you won't find her. She was not an academic, an author, a wealthy business person, nor was she a politician, or a medical practitioner. She was a normal, average person - humble, hard-working, and cheerful. Despite health challenges throughout her life, Louise often held down two jobs, bringing to each of them a wonderful sense of humour and her positive attitude. She survived the Depression and war years, never married, was very loyal to her extended family and especially loyal to her Catholic faith. She had great devotion to The Sacred Heart and was an early supporter of Brother Andre and the Oratory in Montreal. While she never attended university, she was a strong supporter of education at all levels and encouraged young people, especially her nieces and nephews, to achieve their potential. She lived a life worthy of imitation - and so in the hearts of many, she was indeed famous.
