At the final Regular Meeting of the Board for the 2021 – 2022 school year on June 21, Bluewater District School Board recognized students and staff who received provincial, national, and international awards this past year. Recipients were celebrated for excellence in several categories, which ranged from science, mathematics, and French to athletics and the skilled trades, among others.“On behalf of trustees, congratulations to this year’s award recipients who exceled provincially, nationally, and internationally in a wide spectrum of competitions,” says Chair Jane Thomson. “The skill, dedication, and grit demonstrated by all is beyond amazing, and we are so proud of the fine examples they set for Bluewater and our local communities. Accolades are also extended to those who directly supported these achievements through coaching, encouragement, chaperoning, and otherwise.”

“It has become a popular Bluewater tradition for us to recognize our provincial, national, and international award recipients at our last board meeting in June,” says Director of Education Lori Wilder. “This year’s extensive list is as impressive and awe-inspiring as ever, and I congratulate all the recipients on their exceptional accomplishments and thank those in their support systems.
