October 26, 2021 – Wolseley Canada—a wholesaler of plumbing, HVAC&R, and industrial products—announced the Wolseley Canada Indigenous Bursary to help Indigenous students with funding for post-secondary education.

In partnership with Indspire, Wolseley has donated $25,000, which will be matched by the Government of Canada, for a total of $50,000.

Indspire is an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. The bursary was launched on September 30, the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation.

“This is an important day to reflect on history, and to consider how we can better support Indigenous communities,” said Sebastien Laforge, president, Wolseley Canada.
