JGL Legacy Scholarship
History
When Jameson, Gilroy, and B & L Livestock Ltd. (JGL) was formed in 1979, Bill Jameson and Robin Gilroy believed that a strong business is built on friendly, trustworthy service and loyal, long-term relationships. For over 40 years, these values have remained at the core of what JGL is today. Over the years, JGL has expanded from a cattle-buying firm to a full-service agricultural partner providing personalized services for beef and crop producers, including merchandising, crop protection and nutrition, financial services, and risk management. The JGL founders have long believed that investments in young people keen on the business of agriculture have, in large part, been responsible for the growth and success of JGL.
In 2012, the JGL Legacy Scholarship was established to promote growth in rural Saskatchewan by re-investing in its greatest resource – young people. The JGL Legacy Scholarship is awarded to 10 deserving young people in the Prairie South School Division who reside in rural Saskatchewan and are enrolled in post-secondary education, with special consideration given to those enrolled in an Agriculture related program.
