Terri Wiebe of Steinbach has been recognized for her accomplishments.
The second year student in Red River College's accelerated nursing program has been awarded a 2006 Garfield Weston Merit Scholarship.  Wiebe is one of 48 recipients from across Canada to receive the award, given annually to students who show leadership, dedication to their field of study and commitment to their community.  She has spent a lot of time working with teens in underdeveloped areas and recently organized a mission trip to an orphanage in Haiti.  The scholarship includes funding for her tuition, $8,000.00 a year for the remainder of her program, $4,000.00 to cover costs already incurred and may access $3,500.00 for a summer project.  Wiebe considers the award quite an honour.
