Terry Daniels Scholarship

Terry Daniels studied Science at Victoria College in the 1950s. He went on to become chairman of Daniels Electronics, the company founded by his father in 1938. Daniels Electronics designed and manufactured customized digital and analogue radio repeater systems capable of working in extreme climates. It was one of Victoria’s longest running businesses and continually expanded into new markets and product lines. The company was also a long-term ßÉßɱ¬ÁÏ co-op employer. The company was sold to Codan Radio of Australia, which is carrying on at the same location.

Myrna Daniels studied in the Department of French at UVic in the 1980s. From the time she started studying French in high school, Myrna had a love of and natural affinity for the French language. She continued in the French Language Diploma Program at UVic in the late '70s and early '80s. In the late '80s, she took first-year French for credit and was surprised and extremely grateful to win the Adeline Julienne Deloume Memorial Scholarship. She is so pleased that life has come full circle and she is able to offer a scholarship in her name, the Myrna McEwen Daniels Scholarship. If she can inspire one student to become a French teacher, as she would have liked to have become, then she will have realized her goal.

Terry and Myrna recognize the important of language revitalization and all that it means for preserving culture, traditional knowledge and ways of knowing, which is why they established the Myrna and Terry Daniels Award in Indigenous Education. 

Terry and Myrna believe that music plays an important role in our lives and are glad they can share this passion with a student who believes the same thing through the Terry and Myrna Daniels Scholarship in Music.
