Canadian School Libraries has two awards, which are presented every other year, at Treasure Mountain Canada symposiums. We are pleased to be presenting the following awards.
The Angela Thacker Memorial Award
The Angela Thacker Memorial Award has been established in memory of Angela Thacker, teacher-librarian, library coordinator, and school library colleague, mentor, leader and advocate who served the Association for Teacher-Librarianship in Canada (ATLC) and the Canada School Library Association (CSLA) in many capacities. This award honours teacher-librarians who have made contributions to the profession through publications, productions or professional development activities that deal with topics relevant to teacher-librarianship and/or school library learning commons.
This year's recipients of the Angela Thacker Memorial Award are Leigh Borden, Rabia Khokhar, Rebeca Rubio, and Jonelle St. Aubyn. Read more here.

This year's recipient of the Leading Learning Implementation Award is Surrey Schools, School District 36, Surrey, British Columbia. Read more here.
