Mrs. W. Chester McLure Memorial Awards

The Mrs. W.

Two awards are given: a first-place award of $500 and a second-place award of $300. The awards are named in honor of Lt. Col. Honourable W. Chester S.

He also served three terms in the PEI Legislature during the 1920s and had notable roles as a teacher, businessman in the fox industry, president of the Guardian Publishing Company, and director of the Charlottetown Exhibition Association.
