Canadian Family seeking exceptional teachers

Canadian Family, the online magazine, is now accepting nominations for the ninth year of its annual Teacher Awards. The award celebrates exceptional, community-nominated elementary and secondary school educators across Canada.

“The Teacher Awards’ mandate is simple: to recognize first-rate teachers, put forward by the students, parents and colleagues whose lives they touched during their time in the classroom,” said Angie McKaig, director, digital lifestyle brands, Canadianfamily.ca. “I look forward to hearing about the compassion and initiative of Canadian educators nationwide.”

12 semi-finalists will be shortlisted from the nominations, to be announced on May 15, 2015. The top three teachers will then be selected via an online vote and announced on Canadianfamily.ca on August 24, 2015. The three winners will receive $2,500 for school supplies.
