Bass River Teen Awarded $70,000 Scholarship
by Linda Harrington
A desire to teach dance classes to children in her small community has resulted in an outstanding award for 18 year old Julia McLellan of Bass River.

TD Community Leadership Scholarship
This talented grade 12 student has just been awarded the 2009 TD Community Leadership Scholarship worth up to $70,000.
In 2006, Julia created 'Centre Stage' to teach varied forms of dance to children during March Break. The activity was well received and expanded into a full dance program for ages six and up from surrounding areas. The training is provided free but donations are accepted towards upkeep of the Bass River Community where classes are held.
Julia is one of only 20 Scholarship recipients across Canada and one of only two in Nova Scotia. She received the fabulous news in January but had to keep it a secret until the winners were announced in May.

Julia plans on attending Sheridan Institute in Oakville, Ontario to study in the four year Music Theatre Performance Program. She says her fingers are crossed that she may perform on Broadway someday.
This talented singer and actor has won numerous awards for her talents and she is no stranger to performing. She most recently had a lead role in the Cobequid Educational Centre school...
