Congratulations to the Recipients of the Trans Mountain Bursary!

The Town of Hinton is proud to announce the first recipients of the Trans Mountain Pipeline L.P. Bursary! These students are pursuing trades, technology, or environmental programs directly linked to the pipeline industry, and we praise them for their dedication to building strong, skilled careers that benefit our community and beyond.

A huge round of applause for this year’s recipients!  We were thrilled to present them with this bursary alongside Mayor Nissen to recognize these students’ exceptional achievements and aspirations for post-secondary studies.
