The annual award from the M. Junice Headley Music Education Fund with the Battlefords and District Community Foundation was recently given to Amy Gruber of Wilkie. Students who successfully complete their Royal Conservatory of Music Practical Exam for Grades 7 through 9 are encouraged to apply each year. Junice Headley was a piano teacher for 57 years and established this award to recognize the achievements of piano students. This award is from just one of 22 funds that the Battlefords and District Community Foundation currently administers. Annual grants support a number of community interests from the arts and health care to post-secondary scholarships and recreation. BDCF distributed over $40,000 in community grants and scholarships last year. The foundation website at www.bdcf.ca has complete information. Photo submitted
