Across the country, meteorologists provide essential weather information that helps Canadians make informed decisions about their health, safety, and economic prosperity. With Canadians experiencing more frequent and severe weather events, timely and accurate weather information is critically important.
To meet the current and future need for skilled meteorologists, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, is announcing the Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorology Awards Program. The program represents an investment of $648,000 in scholarship funds for eligible students entering studies that support the development of future meteorologists, supporting approximately 80 scholarships.
