A Lakeland College instructor was honoured with a prestigious literacy award at the Saskatchewan Literacy Awards of Merit.
Gwen Coutts-Radke received the award for Professional Leadership in Literacy. The awards were hosted by Lieutenant Government Russ Mirasty and Donna Mirasty at Government house in Regina in May.
“Gwen has championed literacy for all students both as a high school teacher at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School and currently at Lakeland College,” the college said in a statement.
The award is given annually by the Governor General at the Sask legislature to only one recipient.
Coutts-Radke advocates for disadvantaged and marginalized students in the Lloydminster area by supporting brighter futures through education. Under her tutelage, Gwen has helped thousands of students of all ages and ability levels gain literacy skills in the Lloydminster area.
