The Richard Harvey Spirit Award
Richard Harvey worked for the Department of Education until his retirement and was instrumental in initiating the first Provincial Student Leadership Conference in 1985 to coincide with the “Year of the Youth”. His interest in students involved in Leadership positions in schools was always very apparent and he played an integral part in making sure the provincial leadership conference became a yearly event. When the organizers of this conference talked about recognizing schools for their innovations and originality in school spirit and school activities, it was a natural extension to name the award, “The Richard Harvey Spirit Award”.
CRITERIA
