This award was named by Mi'kmaq Elder Judy Clark and is funded by Dr. Marti Hopson. Marti Hopson has been with the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) for 20 years as a small animal veterinarian. She is one of the coordinators of the Chinook Project which provides essential veterinary care to remote communities in Canada's north. She is also involved in several musical/theatre organizations in PEI. Dr. Hopson recognizes the importance of bringing Indigenous knowledge and ways of doing to the forefront of all communities including the university. It is in that spirit that she has established these awards. |
