Bob Etherington Heritage Trades Scholarship

Bob Etherington was a journeyman carpenter and joiner and later a building inspector with The City of Calgary. In 2009, the daughters of Bob Etherington generously provided a donation in his memory to establish a Heritage Trades Scholarship through the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation. Bob's dedication to the construction industry in Alberta throughout his career, along with volunteer work with the Alberta and Canadian Building Officials Association and his deep appreciation of history, exemplify the ideals promoted by this scholarship.

This scholarship is designed to develop the heritage trades in Alberta by encouraging tradespersons to hone their technical skills and further their understanding of the challenges and complexities of heritage conservation work. Grant maximum is $3,000.
