About this Award

Thanks to the generosity and leadership of Perry Dellelce (LL.B. 1990) and Wildeboer Dellelce LLP, a $100,000 contribution has been made to the Faculty of Law, Common Law Section at the University of Ottawa. While it is given in the name of Wildeboer Dellelce LLP, the portion of this gift given by Mr. Dellelce personally, being $90,000, represents the largest personal contribution received to date (December 2006) by Common Law from one of its graduates presently engaged in the practice of law in a firm setting. As a token of its gratitude, in addition to the named scholarship, the Common Law Section has renamed its Career Development Resource Centre the "Wildeboer Dellelce LLP Career Development Resource Centre".

The donor thanks the Government of Ontario for its matching contributions through the Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund Program.
