LETHBRIDGE, AB – A local post-secondary student is set to receive an award for her work helping in the community.
Talayna Ekelund will receive the University of Lethbridge (U of L) Volunteer Award at the Spring 2024 Convocation.
In one year alone, the U of L says the anthropology and pre-education student logged more than 600 hours of volunteer time. She helped various organizations in Lethbridge and southern Alberta.
