The Regular Meeting of the Board on June 20, 2023, featured the return of a popular Bluewater District School Board (BWDSB) year-end tradition. Special guests were joined by family members and friends at the BWDSB Education Centre for the presentation of the 2023 Awards of Excellence honouring the many outstanding contributions made to our local education system.
Trustees took turns recognizing the recipients, each representing a school area, or ‘family of schools.’ From breakfast programs, fundraising, and athletics, to supporting literacy, diversity and equity, and the transition of newcomer families, recipients were thanked and celebrated for a broad range of initiatives.
The Awards of Excellence is an annual recognition held during the final board meeting in June. As it is impossible to capture every individual who contributes to the betterment of education in our schools, the awards are designed to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts and contributions of an individual from each family of schools within the district.
Bluewater District School Board congratulated the following recipients of the 2023 Awards of Excellence:
Bruce Peninsula District School/Peninsula Shores District School Family of Schools: Nicole Gamble
Georgian Bay Community School Family of Schools: Sonia Kulakowsky
Grey Highlands Secondary School Family of Schools: Joan John
John Diefenbaker Senior School Family of Schools: Jack Davis
Kincardine District Senior School Family of Schools: Katie Kloosterboer
Owen Sound District Secondary School Family of Schools: Brenda Long
Saugeen District Senior School Family of Schools: Ningwakwe George

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
