SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Havergal Teachers Honoured with 2016 Governor

General’s History Award for Excellence in Teaching

Havergal is proud to acknowledge that Mr. Adam Pounder and

Ms. Lori Buchanan, Upper School History teachers, are two of the

recipients of the Governor General’s History Award for Excellence

in Teaching. The prestigious award celebrates teachers across

Canada who represent leadership and innovation in educating

young people about Canada’s past.

His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor

General of Canada, presented the awards at Rideau Hall in Ottawa

on Monday, November 28. This special event marked the 20th year

of celebrating the excellence of Canada’s top history makers.

Mr. Pounder and Ms. Buchanan are being recognized for their

joint Grade 10 History Book Project in which students connect the

history of their families to critical moments in the history of Canada.

They compare stories their relatives tell with the official narrative,

thus learning to appreciate multiple perspectives on the past.
