The Jayson Collin Bursary

By Sarah-Lynn Pauléus

A young 26 years old man attended Emmanuel Christian School.

On August 10, 2022, a shooting broke out in the courtyard of a Montreal North high school. Jayson Colin was hit by several projectiles and unfortunately passed away. To honor his memory, his former school decided to create a scholarship.

This scholarship will allow several children who do not have the means to attend a private establishment in order to have access to a higher level of education. In fact, a student was able to take advantage of it for the upcoming school year.

In the fall of 2022, two events were held in his honor to raise funds for this scholarship. Emmanuel Christian School organized a walkathon against violence and a hockey day in honor of Jayson set up by Alex Teck, Goaltending was held.

Joyful, contagious smile, kindness, and loving are just some of the wonderful qualities among many to describe the person that Jayson Colin was. Jayson, you will always make a difference. If you would like to donate to the scholarship, visit the Emmanuel Christian School website at emmanuelcs.com.
