THE ACHIEVEMENT OF 3 IMPORTANT YEARS:
The 100th anniversary of our Founder His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (2021);
June 10th 2021 would have been the 100th Birthday of the Duke of Edinburgh. As the family of the Prize, we miss him. Prince Philip was a champion of the infinite potential of the youth and a pioneer of education and informal teachings. As we celebrate his 100th Birthday, the global family of the Prize is determined to make it so that his vision of the Prize could go on and develop itself for the many years to come, as he would have wanted.
The Commemoration of the Death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada (2022);
Throughout her reign, and until her death, the queen of Canada defended public services and volunteering across the world. By meeting influential people, her Majesty pushed forward and considerably influenced numerous important causes and served as an example to several of us. She sponsored over 600 charities and organizations, including 36 in Canada. In that way and many more, the ascension will be a «Thank you Ma'am» and an opportunity to commemorate her reign.
The 60th anniversary of the Award in Canada (2023);
From coast to coast, since 1963, Th e Duke of Edin-
burgh's International Award - Canada helped young people to set
goals and take control of their own futures. Annually, more than
