Bursary Program in Partnership with Trent University


Bursary Program:
In 2013, Peterborough was the proud host of the Kiwanis Eastern Canada and Caribbean District Convention. Peterborough is in Division 10 of this Kiwanis District and Division 10 consist of the following Kiwanis Clubs: Kiwanis Club of Peterborough, Kiwanis Club of Scott’s Plains (Peterborough), Kiwanis Club of Oshawa Durham A.M., Kiwanis Club of Sydenham (Oshawa), and the Kiwanis Club of Westmount (Oshawa). As a result of a successful convention, it was decided by the organizing committee that the proceeds be put toward a bursary program for first year students attending Trent University.
