Presented by the Canadian Archery Foundation

The Archery Canada Foundation is proud to introduce the Roger Garrod Memorial Bursary, an annual award established to honour the legacy of long-time archery supporter Roger Garrod.

This bursary, made possible through the generosity of Roger’s wife, Helen Garrod, is awarded each year to a Canadian archer between the ages of 17 and 21 who has either represented or will represent Canada at a World Championship or other recognized international archery event.

In addition to competition experience, eligible applicants must also demonstrate clear intent to pursue post-secondary education in the coming academic year.

Above all, the recipient must embody the values that Roger upheld throughout his life and involvement in sport—sportsmanship, dignity, and conduct that brings honour to both archery and Canada, in moments of both triumph and adversity.

Through this bursary, the Archery Canada Foundation and the Garrod family seek to support and inspire the next generation of Canadian archers, both on the field and in their academic journeys.
