Scholarship Honors Brave Science Teacher | Vancouver News

A Tumbler Ridge science teacher, Mark Deeley, is being honored with a new annual scholarship at the University of Victoria, established in his name after his heroic actions during a mass shooting in February. The scholarship supports local students pursuing science, reflecting Deeley’s lifelong mission to inspire young innovators. Though surprised by the honor, Deeley is deeply moved—especially since the funds will directly benefit his students. With over $15,000 already pledged and more donations welcomed, the scholarship is poised to launch annually, helping students in physics, geology, and beyond. Deeley, now in his 21st year of teaching, remains proud of his students’ brilliance and grateful for the community’s support after tragedy.
