Missing, students Heather Muir, Nichole Gagnon, and Dionne Schmidt, all of Walkerton. Aubrey and Muir received $1,000 bursaries and the other eight received $800 scholarships. Since 2001 the Foundation has handed out $58,650 to local students who were attending Walkerton schools during the E. coli outbreak of 2000. However, unless donations are received in the coming year, treasurer O’Gorman said this would be the last year for the program.
