Canadian Rodeo Historical Association (CRHA)
The JP Veitch, Rona Ambrose & Family Scholarship was established to promote learning about the cornerstone of today’s rodeo – our predecessors and their amazing stories. It is our goal to promote, support and encourage young people to become involved in preserving this rich history through their education, community service and athletics.
