The Chris Vais Community Award was established in 2002, in memory of the Rev. Dr. Chris Vais, by classmates who graduated with him from Knox in 1987. Each year Vais’s family and friends honour his memory by making a financial donation to this award.
Knox is grateful to the donors who faithfully give each year to make this award possible.
