Celebrating educators and school staff from across Nova Scotia
I was pleased to join Peter Day, President of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, in celebrating educators and school staff from across Nova Scotia during Education Week 2026.
More than 70 award recipients representing Regional Centres for Education and the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial were recognized for their contributions to students, schools, and communities throughout the province.
This year’s Education Week theme, “Fostering Empathy: Leading and Learning with Kindness,” focused on the importance of creating safe, welcoming, and supportive learning environments for students and staff alike.
Education Week, held May 11–17, recognizes the dedication and hard work of teachers, educational support staff, and school communities across Nova Scotia.

Congratulations to all of this year’s recipients on their well-deserved recognition.
