Governor General Award
A BRONZE medal is awarded to the student who achieves the highest average upon graduation from a secondary school.
The average includes all Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses as listed on the student’s official Transcript of Grades issued by the ministry of education. The average cannot be anticipated; it must be calculated based on final results after provincial/territorial examinations, where the ministry of education requires final exams.
Equitable access for the entire student population is an important aspect of the medal’s value. Regardless of the stream or the subjects chosen, all students are eligible for consideration upon graduation.
Courses taken after graduation to upgrade marks are not to be included.
