Gerald Archer (Margaret Archer Memorial)

Margaret Archer (Atkinson) graduated from Olds College in 1950.
She worked alongside her husband Gerald running a mixed dairy and grain farming operation, besides raising six children and earning extra money selling eggs and her well-known “milk-fed” chickens and turkeys.
The family set up this bursary for the Animal Health Technology students because one of Margaret’s early dreams was to become a veterinarian.
Although she never pursued this dream, her self-gained knowledge and care in treating sick animals came close.
Margaret was an avid ambassador of Olds College and was extremely dedicated to the Olds College Alumni Association, holding a wide variety of positions in the Association and dedicating many volunteer hours for reunions and tracing of alumni addresses.
