Jim Silver Award

The Jim Silver Award will support students enrolled in the Department of Urban & Inner-City Studies. The recipient selection will be based on financial need, academic merit, and community involvement. This award was created by Mr. Michael Nesbitt in honour of Dr. Jim Silver. Dr. Silver dedicated his life to studying socioeconomic issues in Winnipeg. One such achievement was the completion of the Merchants Corner project which has become a catalyst for positive change in Winnipeg’s North End.
