The Alberta Teachers’ Association

Nominate a great kid

Nominations are now open for the 16th annual Great Kids Awards, which recognize children and youth who have a positive impact on their communities or the lives of Albertans.

Any Alberta resident can nominate a child or youth between the ages of five and 18. Sixteen great kids will be selected from four age categories and celebrated at an awards ceremony at the Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton next spring.

Nominations are open until Nov. 27. More information is available at www.greatkids.alberta.ca, by emailing HS.greatkids@gov.ab.ca or by calling 780-415-8150.
