Parenting is not always easy, nor is the life of a health professional, and the life of a scholar is no walk in the park either. But for recent Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) scholarship recipient, Emily Drake, this is just her daily routine. The KKG award is a scholarship that was established by the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation of Canada.

For pharmacist Hugh Toner (BScPH’87), the sky was the limit when he graduated high school. Growing up on a potato farm in rural New Brunswick, he learned to drive trucks and tractors from an early age, was raised by two loving parents, played sports and had high marks. It was an idyllic life, where academic and athletic successes came easy. In his last year of high school, he was athlete of the year, and class valedictorian.
