A Toronto girl, Paige Kobe, has won the $1,000 Leaside Garden Society Founders’ scholarship for 2020. Paige is a fourth-year student studying Water Resource Science at Lakehead University. Her diverse interests include agriculture, locally grown food, gardening, soil and water resources. Studies have led Paige to soil research that focuses on sustainable agriculture land use and restoring degraded soils. Paige was extremely appreciative of the scholarship. She said it opens up many opportunities associated with her studies. Connie Uetrecht and members of LGS’s Scholarship Committee were on hand to congratulate Paige and her parents.
