The Alzheimer Society Niagara Foundation is honoured to establish the “Douglas Rapelje Memorial Bursary” at Brock University.
This award will serve as a tribute to Rapelje’s life’s work and continue his efforts by supporting Brock’s Gerontology students – the next generation of advocates focused on the long-term care of seniors in Niagara and beyond.
“Doug spent many years encouraging young people to pursue careers within the gerontology field and it is rewarding to know that a deserving graduate student will receive financial assistance to carry on his cherished legacy” – Teena Kindt, CEO.
The Douglas Rapelje Memorial Bursary will be available to students in Brock’s MAG program beginning this fall. Recipients chosen for the honour will reflect Rapelje’s passion and drive to enhance the lives of seniors and have their own experience working with seniors.
