The Newfoundland and Labrador School Boards Association (NLSBA) has been chosen as the recipient of a prestigious annual award, the Destination St. John’s Award of Distinction, for excellence in hosting the 2010 CSBA Congress. Presented by Destination St. John’s and the City of St. John’s, this award is presented to the conference chair and committee that, through the hosting of a national conference, has significantly increased the profile of St. John’s. This award recognizes the significant planning, effort, dedication and commitment the NLSBA and its school districts demonstrated in hosting CSBA 2010.

The NLSBA will receive the award in June at the 20th Annual Tourism Awards Ceremony at City Hall in St. John’s.

The professional development opportunities and events of Congress 2010 will be remembered for years to come. Congratulations to the NLSBA and its school districts: the Labrador District School Board, Conseil Scolaire Francophone de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, Nova Central School District, Western School District and Eastern School District.
