Innovation Award - Health Science Students - Westwood Cycle

In 2014, two new student awards will be presented.  These awards sponsored by Westwood Cycle will be presented to two Douglas College Health Sciences Students. 

The awards will be given to two student who present projects that clearly link the benefits of exercise and health.  Projects fitting this criteria are eligible for two awards:

       $  500.00

Awards will be presented as cash to the student(s).  Projects may be individual or group projects with the award being divided amongst the group members.
