Ted Parnell Scholarship

Description

The Ted Parnell Scholarship Fund was established to honour the life and work of Ted Parnell (1947-1981). Ted was a sensitive and committed individual who contributed greatly to conservation in the Yukon. Ted’s life and work reflected his keen environmental values and love of the north and its people.
