Avoca Collegiate in Badger has been recognized for their efforts to make their school community inclusive to those with intellectual disabilities.
The K-12 school, which serves fewer than 50 students, won the Inclusion Canada NL Inclusive Education Award for their efforts throughout the past school year.
They include programs and activities catered to students of all abilities, such as after school basketball programs and a partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays that allows kids who may face barriers to enroll in baseball.
