founding members

The Norma Fitzsimmons Funds

The Norma Fitzsimmons bursuries were established in June of 2008. Thanks to generous donations from Borgie Nosegard, Norma Fitzsimmons and Victoria AM members there were two bursuries establised. One for students in Tourism and one for students in Music. Norma was the originator of the Meet and Greet program. When cruise ships first started arriving in Victoria, Norma would go and greet the passengers with a rose. Shortly after Victoria AM was formed Norma brought the Meet and Greet program to us.

The Tommy Mayne Fund

The Tommy Mayne Bursary Fund was established in 2001 to honour Tommy Mayne for his many years of service to Victoria AM's "Meet & Greet" Cruise Ship Program. Bursaries are for students enrolled in Tourism related programs.

The Gordon Townley Memorial Fund

This fund was established to provide recognition and support to students enrolled in a tourist-oriented program of studies at Camosun College. This bursary is awarded annually to a full-time student, with satisfactory academic standing and in need of financial assistance.
