May 2018 Applause! is the monthly recognition of significant achievements and contributions by staff, students and community partners at a York Region District School Board Public Board Meeting. Recognition of achievements is based on alignment with the organizational goals outlined by the Trustees’ Multi-Year Plan in combination with the criteria set out in Staff Awards and Student Awards policies. The Government of Canada History Awards Presented for the fourth consecutive year, the 2017 Government of Canada History Awards honour the work of university and high school students (in Grades 10 - 12) who, through their writing, have shown an interest in great moments in Canadian history. In all, more than 800 student submissions were received from across the country. In the High Schools category, the 2017 Government of Canada History Awards recipients each receive a $1,000 prize—divided between partners for team submissions. Students were required to submit an original piece of writing of no more than 1,000 words in length in the form of a historical essay, a historical work of fiction or digital content. The submissions had to address one of the following topics: reconciliation with indigenous peoples, the First World War, Expo 67, Canadian identity or the development of a new national historic site. Submissions were also required to demonstrate original research, historical analysis, a good knowledge of the subject matter and critical thinking skills. The winners were selected by an independent jury made up of history educators.
