The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) has announced the recipients of the 2024 Catherine Lalonde Memorial Scholarships.

The memorial scholarships, which were established nineteen years ago, are awarded each year to graduate students whose wood research exemplifies the same level of passion for wood and the wood products industry that Catherine Lalonde demonstrated as a professional engineer and president of the CWC.

This year, Laura Walters from McMaster University and Jiawen Shen from the University of British Columbia were recognized for their academic excellence and impactful research projects in the structural wood products industry.
