NPSC says their nomination focuses specifically on their work in the areas of Indigenous Education, Special Education, and Mental Health.  

“The nomination highlights the Board’s leadership in facilitating ownership linkage with community stakeholders including our Indigenous community, its strong history of receiving input and advice from its Special Education Advisory Committee, the early development of key governance policies focused on Indigenous Student Trustee representation, and its collective work in responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action with Catholic faith as our foundation,” states a release. 

The final award winners in each category will be announced and celebrated on November 17, 2022 in Toronto.
