The Suzanne Mah Scholarship Program was established in 1997 to honour the memory of Suzanne Mah, the daughter of Vic Mah, first Chair of the Capital City Savings Board of Directors. Suzanne was a young lawyer and lecturer who was committed to human rights principles in both her personal and professional life. This scholarship is named in recognition of her leadership to eliminate discrimination and prejudice, and her exemplary work in her practice.
