Wib Mayor Award
The Wib Mayor Award is presented at the AGM to a Teacher who is involved in OSSTF committees or councils and who is distinguished in their subject field. It also recognizes Teachers who have taken leaderships roles with respect to professional development in their field.
The recipient of the Wib Mayor Award in 2019 was Rebecca Dillon. (No Wib Mayor was given in 2020 due to changes made as a result of Covid and a shortened virtual AGM.)
There are other District Awards. Please go to the District page for more information.
