2025 Laurel Randle Memorial Bursary recipient

Congratulations to Mia Novakovic, who has been selected as the recipient of the 2025 Laurel Randle Memorial Bursary! Mia is the child of CIU member Francine Mwamba, from the Headquarters Branch. The winning essay demonstrated a definite understanding of Laurel’s values — dedication to social justice and union activism — and provided clear insight in an original and creative fashion. Well done, Mia!

In total, fourteen submissions were received prior to the July 31 deadline. Thank you to all who participated! The application process for the 2026 bursary will open in the spring.
