About this Award
This scholarship has been created by the Knox Presbyterian Church of Ottawa as part of our efforts
toward reconciliation and creating opportunity for Indigenous students enrolled in the Faculty of
Medicine at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Peter Henderson Bryce (1853–1932) was a pioneer in Canadian public health and
sanitation policy. He is best remembered for his efforts to improve the health and living conditions of Indigenous people. His report on the Indian schools of Manitoba and the Northwest
Territories exposed the unsanitary conditions of residential schools across Canada and prompted
national calls for residential school reform. This scholarship has been created by Knox Presbyterian Church members to highlight the path towards reconciliation.
