Medal. This year that student is Lindsay Batten.

distinction at U of Vic.

scholarships and prizes. This includes the Faskin,

C.B.A., co-writing an article for the Advocate and Les Advocats du Vin.

articling in Vancouver. |
Is
presented on the basis of academic achievement, athletic involvement,
outstanding character, and the ability to serve, work with, and to lead
others. Simon Cridland without a doubt reflects the character of this
award. Maintaining a top quartile academic
standing, he was actively involved in F.C.S.C. Faculty-Student Liaison
