Trustee Suzanne Stubbs Receives Appreciation Award.

The Saskatchewan Catholic School Boards Association awards Suzanne Stubbs with the Appreciation Award.

Annually the Saskatchewan Catholic School Boards Association makes a call for nominations for the prestigious Service Awards.

The award will be presented at a future date due to the pandemic.
