President’s Award for Excellence in Education
International students play an important role in Canada’s prosperity, and in the Canada-China relationship. In the ebb and flow of such relationships, it is people-to-people ties that help pull us out of the ebbs like the one we find ourselves in today. Competition for Chinese students among Western countries is fierce, so strong tertiary programs are key to ensuring that education remains one of Canada’s largest exports to China. A special award for the education sector was created this year by CCBC President Graham Shantz.
