T
he RTAM Endowment Fund was established
with The Winnipeg Foundation in 2013 with
an initial contribution of $50,000 enabling four
awards of $500. The Fund has grown to provide
support this year for four $850 awards to our very
deserving young relatives.
Endowing the RTAM Fund at the Winnipeg
Foundation allows us to enlarge the size of
the award available to each student over time.
LET’S STRIVE FOR FOUR $1000 AWARDS NEXT YEAR!
Please consider adding capital to the growth of the
RTAM Endowment Fund. Contribute to The RTAM
Endowment Award Fund at the Winnipeg Foundation
by phone, mail or internet with an In Memoriam gift
or in your will or just your charity of choice for next
year. ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Brief description of post-secondary plans provided by the award recipients.
Spencer Christie
I intend on pursuing a degree in
Physics at the University of Manitoba.
Afterwards, I am interested in entering
a medicine school in order to enter the
medical field, although that is far along
in the future.
Olivia Erickson
I am currently attending Brandon
University and working towards
completing my Bachelor of Science
degree. After I finish my first degree
my plans are to attend medical school,
hopefully at the University of British
Columbia and pursue Dermatology and/
or Plastic surgery. My end goal would be
to eventually own my own dermatology
and low level plastic surgery practice.
Marissa Claire Hamlin
Marissa Claire Hamlin is currently
attending the University of Ottawa in
the Faculty of Science pursuing an
undergraduate degree in biology. She
was also accepted into the House of
Commons Page Program for the 2019-
2020 year. As an avid lover of nature
and the environment, Marissa plans
to use her post-secondary education
in biology in order to pursue field
research that will contribute to issues of
environmental and social significance.
Alexander Iwanchysko
I am attending the University of
Manitoba in the Faculty of Engineering.
In my second year I hope to get
accepted into the Department of
Electrical Engineering and earn my
degree in that field. After I get my
degree I plan to work somewhere in
rural Manitoba.
