The award includes a $500 scholarship for both students.

Leask and Buckle’s lives were taken under tragic circumstances in July 2017.

Leask’s mother Nichelle Guignard and brother Taylor Lance [second from right] presented the award.

The new scholarship is meant to provide high school graduates with financial assistance to pursue careers in the trades and athletics.
