A CHAMPION OF THE INFINITE POTENTIAL OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Young people growing up in this modern, complicated world have many difficulties
to face, and opportunities for personal achievement are often limited. The Award
is intended to help both the young as well as those who are concerned for their
welfare. [It] provides an introduction to worthwhile leisure activities and
voluntary service, as a challenge to the satisfaction of achievement and
encourages the development of young citizens.

HEATHER AUCOIN
Award Leader
The Award pushes youth out of their comfort zone and encourages them to try new
things.
BOB QUARTERMAIN
Former Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Pretium Resources Inc
The discipline and commitment that The Award instilled in me in 1973 has
continued throughout my life. It has been important in shaping the manner in
which I operate in business and interact with my family, friends and coworkers.
I’ve been fortunate that throughout my career I have been successful both
professionally and financially and that has provided me with the capacity to
give back. It is appropriate that I am able now to give back to The Duke of
Edinburgh’s Award, as the organization had a positive impact on my youth
development
