Fadel Rahall Scholarship
Immigration has been Canadas greatest strength. Alberta Barber Academy was created in hopes to make those dreams come true.
Fadel Rahall a 30 year veteran to the barber trade immigrated to Canada in 1990 from Lebanon with his family and hopes of security and opportunity. Fadel worked tirelessly in the Asbestos mines of BC and later trekked his family to Edmonton, Alberta where he opened his very first salon "Sassoon's Hair" Fadel along with his 5 brothers have created a foundation to the Hair industry today. The Rahall name has established a strong competitive place in the barbering and salon world. Fadel is known for his humor and joy of being around people. His passion for gardening gave him the joy of feeding everyone.
This scholarship was created for new comers to Canada. A chance for opportunity and the drive to make a change much like Fadel. Fadel Rahall is a current educator at the Academy.
If dreams really do come true, Then Fadel is living the dream.....
