Congratulations on Completing Your Award!
This is an achievement for which you should be extremely proud and a moment to celebrate all your hard work. Award Celebrations are a special opportunity to come together and be recognized for your achievements alongside other Award Holders.
Award Pins & Certificates
Upon completion of an Award level, Award Holders receive a pin and a certificate to commemorate their accomplishments. Certificates and pins are generally presented at Award Celebrations. Bronze and Silver celebrations are organized by the Award Centre and Gold celebrations by the national Award Office.
To recognize Award Holder’s efforts in a timely manner, all Bronze and Silver certificates and pins will be mailed to their Award Centre. All Gold certificates and pins will be sent directly to the Award Holder. If the Award Holder is from a Virtual Award Centre their certificate and pin will be mailed directly to them regardless of the Award level.
Mailing information and emails are pulled from the Online Record Book, please ensure your contact information remains up to date. Receiving your certificate and pin in the mail does not exclude you from attending a Gold Celebration. If you would rather not attend an Award Celebration, please contact our office at: support@dukeofed.org to be removed from the Gold Celebration Waiting List.
Any questions or concerns regarding Award Canada Celebrations can be sent to support@dukeofed.org.

After a long wait due to the pandemic, I was so excited to attend an in-person event to celebrate my hard work! This award truly challenged me and taught me resilience, determination and commitment, and it was wonderful to meet other Gold achievers and celebrate together. Thank you to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for their support throughout the Award process, and for the wonderful celebration. Thank you to The Honourable Judy Foote for presiding over the ceremony. Let us go out into the world using the skills learned in this program and fulfill our moral obligation to help others.
