Winifred Walker Award

Beginning in 2021, this award at the University of Waterloo recognizes a third year Pharmacy student with strong academics combined with a demonstrated interest in enhancing women’s health, who has shown innovative thinking during co-op work terms. The current award is $2,500 each year.

This award was set up by Alison Watson, a past president of CFUW K-W and managing trustee of the CFUW K-W Charitable Fund, to honour the memory of her mother, Winifred Walker. Winifred graduated as a pharmacist from the University of Edinburgh in 1938. Although a move to Canada and raising five daughters curtailed Winifred’s professional career, she retained her interest in learning as well as her health until her passing at age 101.

This fund is supported by Winifred’s family to encourage students in the field of pharmacy.
