​Annual Scholarship Fundraiser
Please join us for an exceptional evening with international bestselling author Jennifer Robson. You will have an opportunity to meet and chat with one of your favourite Canadian authors and learn about her latest book, Our Darkest Night.

We may all be living through an upheaval in history right now, but it is other periods of tumult, namely two world wars, that Jennifer Robson is drawn to writing about in her novels.
The Montreal Lakeshore University Women’s Club (MLUWC) Scholarship Fund encourages education and life-long learning by awarding scholarships and bursaries to qualified and deserving West Island women.
 
All proceeds from this fundraising event will benefit the MLUWC Scholarship Fund which awards $12,000 annually to West Island women pursuing their education in Quebec. In addition to four scholarships for university students, we are proud to provide 17 bursaries to students from John Abbott College, Place Cartier Adult Education Centre and Centre d’éducation des adultes Jeanne Sauvé. In a year when our usual fundraising events have been disrupted, your support of this virtual event is most appreciated.
