Meet the 2020 Destination Imagination BC Scholarship Award Recipient!
Ally Boyd has been on a DI team every year since she was in grade 2. She’s been part of Destination Imagination BC for the past 11 years, attempting almost every category of team challenge.
For the past few years, she’s helped coaching younger kids and this year she’s been a Team Manager for Improv. Ally has had a very active volunteer life aside attending school. She’s been on the Powell River City Youth Council, she was part of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, Girl Guides of Canada, BC Youth Parliament, and other volunteer efforts.
Ally graduated from Brook Secondary, in Powell River, BC, and plans to become an international ESL teacher with focus on outdoor education. She will be attending Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Kate Boyd, Ally’s mom, is an educator in Powell River and a long time DI Team Manager. Every member from the Boyd’s family is very involved in different ways with DI.
“DI has taught me so many skills and techniques over the years and opened my mind to the possibilities. I’ve worked on teamwork, public speaking and acting skills, as well as research and using my imagination to its full potential. I’ve learned to compromise and find a way to make everyone’s ideas fit. I’ve learned that everyone has a strength to share and the challenge is in finding them all”.
