A student from Gander Collegiate will receive a prestigious award from the Governor General this week. Grade 12 student Gregory Bailey competed against students across the country in The Begbie Society's Canadian History Contest. The national high school competition provides students with the opportunity to showcase their knowledge in a two hour written test based on major events in Canadian history from 1850 to the present. Governor General David Johnston will present the award to Bailey on Friday at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. (vocm.com)
