The scholarship was established  by Guilford Brett in memory of Amy Ferguson and the St. Paul’s United Church Boy’s Choir of Nelson. Because of her work with the Boy’s Choir which began in 1931 , the scholarship is in recognition of the positive influence that Amy Ferguson had on many young people of Nelson.

For millennia, Indigenous Peoples have lived on and cared for this land, their deep connection to it rooted in culture, identity, and spirituality. We respectfully acknowledge that the land on which we gather is located within the intersecting traditional territories of multiple First Nations, and is now home to diverse Indigenous People, including the Métis and Inuit. We recognize the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Though we do not fully comprehend the depth of these experiences, we commit ourselves to learning and reflection. We believe that sincere words can open hearts and inspire change. As fellow children of the Creator, we commit to walking the path of reconciliation together.
