Success Stories

"Receiving a Foundation grant last year enabled me to dedicate time to research and write a 35-page literature review summary..."

Lindsay Drabiuk
Student Bursary Recipient

"I would like to express my deep gratitude for the financial support provided by the foundation as I completed my training as a Provisional Supervisor-Educator at Selkirk Mental Health Centre (in Manitoba). The bursary provided by CFSC/FCSS covered my tuition for this training, and I’m so grateful for the emotional/spiritual support that came along with such a gesture. 
It was especially heartwarming for me to learn that the bursary I received is connected to the generosity of Harold and Doreen King! I am mindful that Harold and many of his colleagues were instrumental in establishing the Spiritual Health Specialist position at CancerCare Manitoba, which was my first place of employment after completing my CPE residency. 
Now that I have stepped into the role of Certified Supervisor-Educator, I hope to pay this forward. It’s very meaningful for me to now be able to accompany others on their own transformative learning journeys in the context of CPE. Once again, heartfelt thanks to the Foundation!"

"The journey of spiritual care training I came to in mid-life, and I have finally found my place - I love it. To be supported financially through this bursary and people's generosity for my CPE unit in the midst of a lot of changes in my life is an immense gift..."​​

I'm writing to express my deep thanks to the CASC/ACSS Foundation for the gift of a bursary. In my late 50's, I'm pursuing CPE as a path to a new career. I have been touched, moved and inspired by my education to date. I am so grateful that Spirit led me here. I give thanks for the honour it is to be of service in this way and I'm so very grateful for the Foundation's assistance.  Again, thank you to the donors, the Foundation and the team that makes it all tick. 
With love and light, 
Michelle Pante
