Are you a graduate student in Canada studying engineering, architecture, or wood science and conducting research related to wood? The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) invites submissions for the 2026 Catherine Lalonde Memorial Scholarships, recognizing excellence in structural wood products and wood design. Two scholarships of $3,000 will be awarded to graduate students whose research contributes to the advancement of Canadian-made structural wood products and/or domestic wood construction. The scholarships honour the legacy of Catherine Lalonde. Catherine was a professional engineer and a passionate representative of our industry who championed the use of wood in residential and commercial construction with steadfast dedication during her 10 years with the CWC. She served as president of the CWC from 2000, until 2003, when her life was tragically cut short by cancer. This award commemorates Catherine’s memory and perpetuates the legacy of excellence and advocacy she bestowed upon the Canadian wood products industry throughout her influential tenure at the CWC.
