CTV Interview with May Remenda - MROO Targeted Scholarship
Back to SearchThis year’s first recipient from Lakehead University, May Remenda, lives in Thunder Bay (from Nipigon, Ontario) is in her final year of a Master of Social Work with a specialization in Gerontology.
May's thesis work focuses on enhancing dementia care for Indigenous residential school survivors who are often relocated to long-term care facilities far from their communities and support systems. By advocating for culturally safer care practices, which respect and integrate their unique heritage and histories, her work aims to ensure these elders are treated with dignity and kindness in their final years. After graduation, May will be working as a Knowledge Broker at the Centre for Education and Research on Aging & Health (CERAH).
At her recent graduation ceremony (May 30, 2024), May received another award - the Dean Braun Scholar award which is presented to the student with the highest academic standing in the program. Congratulation to May!
