John Weighill Memorial Award

John Weighill

Memorial Award

John Weighill (1942 - 2013) was an avid fishermen, hunter, and general outdoor enthusiast. He shared his love for the outdoors, camping, and wildlife with both his children and his grandson.

John (Grader Operator Certificate) was the first member of the Weighill family to attend Malaspina College; however, he was followed by Jean (Early Childhood Education Diploma), Cameron (Bachelor of Science in Biology), and Aggie (Recreation Administration Diploma).

In 2021 we used this award as part of VIU's in-kind contribution to the Global Skills Opportunity proposal. We were successful in attaining the funding, which will provide funds for Canadian students to engage in international experiences over the next 4 years.
