Bill Goetz, a retired business executive, established the Stella Margaret Callfas Bursary.
I wished to honour the memory of my dear mother who passed away at the much-too-young age of 37. I felt it only fitting to establish a bursary in her name, and having been born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, where better to establish it than at the pre-eminent educational institution, the University of Waterloo.
