contributions that students make throughout the province.
Each high school can select one student annually from Levels I, II, or III for the award. The recipient
could be a student who has volunteered a significant amount of time with an organization or
organizations; someone who made sacrifices, or overcome barriers, to make a volunteer contribution, or
someone who has had an effect on an individual(s) or on their community as a whole. High school
principals will be asked to select the recipient in consultation with students, staff, school councils and
the community.
Information regarding submissions has been sent to all provincial public high schools. Recipients will be
presented with a medallion displaying an image designed by Duane Hollett, a student at John Burke High
