We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2024 Judy Seddon Memorial Award. This scholarship is awarded annually to a young woman who is involved in rugby in Alberta as an athlete, referee, coach or volunteer, selected on the basis of community service and academics, who is or will be enrolled in a post-secondary institution.
Danyka LaBelle is a student at the University of Calgary in her second year of a Bachelor of Education/Bachelor of Fine Arts in French, with a minor in Native Studies. She is a Metis woman from Cree and Sioux descent who is actively involved in her community through teaching, learning, volunteering, and as a Pow Wow dancer. She comes from a family of athletes who continue to give back through sport. She has competed at the Indigenous Games, both Provincially and North American, and is an athlete in two Varsity sports (rugby and wrestling).
We would like to thank all the applicants and their references for taking the time to apply, and encourage anyone who wishes to apply (or re-apply) to mark May 1st in their calendar when applications for the 2025 award open.
