Awards

The Association runs three awards programs, which recognize the contributions and achievements of individuals or groups connected to the Association or Catholic education.

AGM Awards

Presented at the Annual General Meeting, these awards honour individuals who have served the Association with distinction and/or who have made outstanding contributions to the Association or to Catholic education. Nomination forms are available by emailing awards@catholicteachers.ca and must be submitted no later than October 15 of each year, for recognition the following March.

The Member Engagement Awards

The Member Engagement Awards program honours achievement among OECTA units for their unique and innovative approach in engaging members and helping to spread the good news about our amazing teachers and our Catholic education system. Information and entry forms for Communications Awards are distributed to units in January, for submission by April 19. Awards are distributed at the June meeting of the Council of Presidents.

The Young Authors Awards

We are proud to sponsor the annual Young Authors Awards/Prix Jeunes Écrivains. The awards celebrate the writing talents and accomplishments of students, who submit short stories, poems, nonfiction articles, and reports in either English or French. Information about Young Authors Awards procedures are distributed to Association representatives in schools early in the school year. Award winners are announced at the June meeting of the Council of Presidents.
