For over 140 years, the Governor General's Academic Medals have recognized the outstanding scholastic achievements of students in Canada. This
tradition started at Lakeland in 1988.
Medals are awarded to the student graduating with the highest average from a high
school, as well as from approved college or university programs. Pierre Trudeau, Tommy
Douglas, Kim Campbell, Robert Bourassa, Robert Stanfield and Gabrielle Roy are just
some of the more than 50,000 people who have received the Governor General's Academic
Medal as the start of a life of accomplishment.
