Newtonbrook Secondary School
Toronto, Ontario

Danny was involved in many aspects of student life, but it was his leadership of the school's environment club that really made a mark. He helped the school earn certification as an Eco-School and received an award for outstanding environmental leadership. Danny placed first in several national academic competitions, and his leadership of a group of students who conducted research at the Hospital for Sick Children to assess the effectiveness of combination treatments involving herbal compounds on pancreatic cancer cells helped the group take fifth place in the Greater Toronto Area Sanofi-Aventis BioTalent Challenge. Today Danny is recognized as a recipient of a University of Guelph Lincoln Alexander Chancellor's Scholarship.

Sofia Oke
Centennial Collegiate and Vocational Institute
Guelph, Ontario

Sofia has always been curious about the world around her, but it was her empathy for a friend with breast cancer that encouraged her and a partner to investigate ways to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Their research won them awards at both regional and national science competitions. On top of the many hours Sofia committed to lab research, she found time to volunteer in the community and play an active role in activities at school. Sofia is a most deserving recipient of a University of Guelph Lincoln Alexander Chancellor’s Scholarship.
