Nelson’s Maia Vezina is being honoured with an award hosted by the Nelson’s Osprey Foundation.
The Maia Vezina Education Award will be presented annually to a graduate of L.V. Rogers Secondary School who intends to pursue a post-secondary major in Education.
Vezina graduated from L.V. Rogers in 2012, and was a passionate educator.
“She just loved it. She always dreamt of being a teacher. She had goals that she was living towards,” says Pat Henman, Vezina’s mother.
The family is encouraging the public to contribute to the award.
Henman and Vezina survived a near-fatal car crash in 2013, which inspired Henman to write the memoir Beyond the Legal Limit: Surviving a Collision with a Drunk Driver, which turned into a performance that toured in BC and Alberta this spring.
