Important Update: Academic Gold Medal Delivery
Academic Medal Delivery Work is progressing to create an updated Governor General’s Academic Medal for Canada’s first Indigenous governor general, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon.
We anticipate that medals for both the 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years will be shipped to participating schools in fall 2022.
