Edna Haviland Award 

Since 1981, this award at 14 local area high schools has recognized the woman graduate with the highest grade in Grade 12 University Level Chemistry. The current award is $350 per school for a total of $4,900 each year.

This award was set up by the CFUW K-W Club to honour the memory of Edna Haviland, who was a charter member and president of the club. Edna was one of the first women chemists in Canada. She had a long and distinguished career at Dominion Rubber Company, later named Uniroyal. During World War II, she was involved in the development of synthetic materials used by the military.

The fund is primarily funded by club member donations and the annual used book sale.
