Testimonial
Thank you to the BCD team for the First Nations Female Leaders Scholarship. Being part of an Executive group at BCD has provided a platform for learning, mentorship and personal and professional development. Having dedicated time and space to listen and learn from each other has empowered me to tap into my own potential further. I have appreciated connecting with other women to share our stories and help one another. I am grateful for the opportunities and support BCD has provided so that I can be the best version of myself in serving my community.
