Research Fellowship in Honour of Stuart Nesbitt White

The Stuart Nesbitt White research fellowship was established in 1966 to encourage Canadian universities to develop emergency management studies. In the 44 years since the Fellowship’s creation, there have been numerous advancements to the academic environment related to emergency management studies in Canada:

• At least eight Canadian universities and community colleges now offer courses and programs in emergency management studies; and
• There is now a range of financial support available for studies in the emergency management field.

As this Fellowship was created to address a gap that no longer exists, it has been phased out.  The Government of Canada remains committed to training and education in the field of Emergency Management.
