Established by Edna Vance in honour of Barbara Vance, BNSC 1974.
In 1970 our daughter applied and was accepted into the Nursing Science program at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. It gave us a very proud feeling to know that both our children would be at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. Our son, Howard, would be going on in postgraduate work in Civil Engineering and Barbara enrolled in Nursing.
On June 20, 1970 our son tragically drowned in a sailing accident. Barbara left Ottawa for ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ in early September of that year and graduated in 1974.
