Three of Fort La Bosse School Division’s high school students, one from each of Elkhorn, Reston and Virden, have once again received the Governor General’s Academic award. The medal was first minted in 1873 by Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General after Confederation, to encourage academic excellence across the nation. For 150 years this award is the most prestigious that students in Canadian schools can receive.
