Impact
The Vernon Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical Trades Scholarship *was created to invest directly in the future of skilled trades in the North Okanagan.
As a locally owned company built by tradespeople, we see firsthand the growing demand for qualified HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals—and the real barriers many students face when pursuing these career paths. This bursary is designed to reduce financial pressure while recognizing students who show strong work ethic, reliability, and a genuine interest in the trades.
By supporting graduating SD22 students who plan to continue their education locally—such as through programs at Okanagan College—this scholarship helps keep talent in our community, strengthens the local workforce, and reinforces the value of skilled trades as respected, long-term careers.
Beyond financial support, this award aims to elevate the trades as a viable and rewarding future for young people, celebrate student achievement, and inspire the next generation to take pride in building, fixing, and maintaining the systems our community relies on every day.
The award is available to students graduating from any SD22 secondary school who are pursuing post-secondary education in HVAC/Refrigeration, Plumbing, or Electrical here in the North Okanagan.
