The Toronto Latvian School has received the “Zelta Pūkas” Award !

For the second year the Latvian Language Agency ran the competition “Golden Fluff”. Anyone from Latvia and the diaspora could nominate and vote for candidates, providing reasons for their choice. The aim of the competition is to thank the leaders, teachers and parents of Latvian schools in the diaspora who enthusiastically and selflessly carry out outstanding work in the promotion and preservation of the Latvian language outside Latvia.

This year the Toronto Latvian School submitted candidates in four categories.

This year’s winners of the “Zelta Pūka” competition for diaspora schools were announced on July 17.

We won the category of most loved school event. Probably every current and former pupil and parent would name the annual theatre production as part of the “Friendly Invitation” campaign.

We won in the Acorn category.

Many thanks to our school supporters and everyone who voted to bring this prize to Toronto.
