Gordon Paterson Award Winners over the Years

 

In 1950, the President’s Award was created, similar in value and nature to the Leslie N. Buzzell Award and given to the president on his or her retirement from office.

In 1973, thanks to the initiative and generosity of past president Doreen Richter, a new award was created to recognize an outstanding educator who had given long service to Quebec education and had encouraged the participation of parents.

It was named after the first president of the Quebec Federation, Gordon Paterson.
