Director of Education Commendation Awards 2021

Every year, the Director of Education has the privilege of acknowledging a select group of employees with a Commendation Award. This is the highest honour given to employees and is awarded for making an outstanding contribution to the Ottawa Catholic School Board. It is with great pleasure that I announce the 2021 Director of Education Commendation Award winners. I wish each of these recipients a heartfelt congratulations for their accomplishments and contributions to the OCSB family.

Virtual Awards Ceremony

Join us on Tuesday, May 4 at 7:00 pm from the comfort and safety of your home as we celebrate this year’s winners virtually on YouTube. Grab a snack and follow along with our digital booklet. Share a message of congratulations on social media using the hashtag #BeOCSB.
