​

OSAID is pleased to offer the Anna Pyles Memorial Scholarships valued at $500. This award is offered in memory Anna Pyles, a young woman from Owen Sound, Ontario, who was killed by an impaired driver at the age of 24. 

 

On June 8th, 1997, she and her brother were driving on a beautiful summer afternoon and were suddenly broadsided at an intersection by a drunk driver.  This person had been convicted of impaired driving three previous times and was driving with a suspended license.  From that moment, the lives of her family and friends were forever affected. In her memory, OSAID offers this scholarship to a student who show exceptional effort and dedication to OSAID's mission of educating youth about the dangers of impaired and distracted driving.
