About this Award

This fund was created by Raymond L. De Celles in memory of his mother Geneviève. The De Celles have a long family history at the University of Ottawa. Geneviève De Celles graduated from Collège Bruyère, an affiliate of the University of Ottawa. Mr. De Celles, a graduate of the University and former member of the Ottawa Gee-Gees hockey team, was sitting on the University's Board of Governors when the fund was created. Raymond's wife, Hélène Dazé-De Celles is also a University of Ottawa graduate and was president of the Alumni Association from 1992 to 1994. Their three children, Dominique (B.Adm. 82, B.Com. 83), Luc (B.Soc.Sc. 87) and Marc (B.Adm. 85), are also University of Ottawa alumni. The founder of this fund thanks the donors who have contributed to this fund, and the Alumni Association of the University of Ottawa and the Government of Ontario for their matching contribution.
