A high school teacher in Cambridge is one of 25 finalists for the 2010 Governor
General’s Awards for Excellence in Teaching Canadian History.
Trevor Elmslie from Preston High School is recognized for helping turn the school into a nine-room museum.
It came complete with artifacts, period clothing, pennants and photographs.
The finalists are considered the best of the best at bringing history to life for their students.
A panel of judges will now whittle down the 25 finalists to six, with those teachers receiving $2,500, a gold medal and a trip this fall to the awards ceremonies at Rideau Hall.
Their schools will also receive $1,000 each.
