Today, we're proud to recognize Brett, one of our 2025 Indigenous Bursary recipients.

A member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Brett completed his Bachelor of Science before returning to school to pursue his MBA. He has also recently submitted his application for his Professional Geoscientist designation with APEGA.

While balancing work, school, and becoming a first-time father, the Primary Indigenous Student Bursary helped ease the financial burden, allowing him to focus on both his family and his education.

As Brett shares:

"During this time I was juggling school, work, and becoming a father. This bursary allowed me to comfortably go on parental leave to help support my partner, while also maintaining my class workload by assisting in the cost of tuition and books. I would not have been able to financially handle all of these moving parts without the support of Primary Engineering and Construction."

📣 Reminder: Applications for Primary's 2026 Indigenous Student Bursary close on Saturday, August 1, 2026.

If you're an Indigenous student pursuing post-secondary education and are interested in a career in engineering, design, construction, or related fields, don't miss your opportunity to apply.
