2023 Outstanding Service Awards
Each year, Outstanding Service Awards are presented to 10 GECDSB staff members who have been nominated by their colleagues. The citation that is read at the ceremony is based on what was submitted in the nomination and is meant to depict the outstanding nature of the employee’s service to their school, the students, fellow staff members and the community at large.
