The Inn at Bay Fortune

Chef Michael Smith and Chastity Smith from The Inn at Bay Fortune (Souris, PEI) contacted the Holland College Foundation to establish a full tuition scholarship for Culinary Arts or Pastry Arts students who are of Indigenous descent. Through this initiative, it is Chef Michael and Chastity’s wish to honour Indigenous heritage by investing in the next generation of Indigenous chefs. The award is renewable for the second year of the program, providing attendance, grades, and performance records meet The Culinary Institute of Canada guidelines and policies. It is also their hope and intent to offer on-the-job training and industry experience for the selected recipients.
