Library and Archives Canada launches the Price McIntosh Bursary to support diversity in Canada’s libraries and archives  

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) is pleased to announce the launch of the Price McIntosh Bursary, which is made possible thanks to the generosity of the McIntosh and Price family from Montréal. This bursary is a bequest from the family estate, which donated monies to LAC and asked that they be used to create a bursary program. Given the Government of Canada’s continued commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, LAC seized this opportunity to put in place this important initiative to provide financial support to Indigenous peoples (First Nation, Inuit and Métis Nation), persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities who wish to pursue studies in fields related to libraries and archives.
