What's New

The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Newfoundland and Labrador, has a very active Award Holders Association and we are seeking Gold Award Achievers to become involved. Bronze and Silver Achievers, over the age of 25, are also welcome. For those in the metro area, The Association meets once a month, usually on Monday evenings, at 6:30pm for approximately 1.5 hours. For those across the province, we can arrange for you to join us by conference call. The idea is for members to help with promoting the Award to schools and community groups, training youth for expeditions, planning ceremonies/special events,etc. If you are interested, please call the Provincial Office at 709-753-0423 or email tcarlisle@dukeofed.org

There will be a Silver Award Ceremony on Friday, October 16, 2009. Deadline for Silver Record Book submissions is September 14, 2009. Should you require further information contact the Provincial Award Office at 753-0423.

This year's Award awareness campaign will be held from October 11-17, 2009. The Provincial Award Office is planning a 'Connections Breakfast', will be airing on NTV with Toni Marie on October 13, holding a proclamation signing and there will be province wide radio advertising. Plan now for activities that can help publicize the Award in your community. Maybe a community clean up or another special service project. The Provincial Office would love to hear from you. Send us your ideas, pictures , stories etc.

The Provincial Award Office is presently compiling information for a Newsletter. This will be a quarterly publication and it will be circulated to all Duke groups, youth serving agencies, schools, corporate donors. Do you have an interesting story, photo or a helpful tip to share. Email us, we would love to hear from you!
