The Honourable Arthur J. LeBlanc, ONS, QC., Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia has announced the Lieutenant Governor’s Respectful Citizenship Award will be awarded again in 2019.
This award recognizes those who have developed a project or activity that demonstrates leadership and commitment to creating safe and inclusive spaces in schools and communities in Nova Scotia.
Twenty awards can be given annually, two within each Regional Centre for Education (RCE) and Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP), two in the Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey (MK) board, and two to African Nova Scotian students from across the province.
One will be an individual student award, and the other will be a team award for two or more people (team may include adults). An additional two awards can be given if a student homeschooled or enrolled in private school is a successful applicant.
To be nominated, youth must be a registered student in Nova Scotia and enrolled in a grade from Primary to 12.
Nominations will close on April 8, 2019, and the Lieutenant Governor will present the awards on May 10, 2019.
