A student from Ecole Heritage in Falher has received a Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Student Award as the Grade 11 Northwest Alberta recipient, presented by the Alberta School Boards Association.
Adelle Levesque was presented the award from Lt.-Gov. Salma Lakhani in a ceremony June 9, says a Conseil scolaire du Nord-Ouest (CSNO) news release June 10.
Levesque was recognized for her outstanding leadership, commitment to francophone culture, consistent academic excellence and her positive influence among her peers and in the community.
Her perseverance, intellectual curiosity and spirit of service make her a true role model for francophone youth.
Levesque was one of nine recipients from throughout the province who have demonstrated determination, initiative, and resilience throughout their academic and personal journeys.
Each recipient recipient receives an official certificate, a letter of congratulations and a unique medal to highlight their exemplary achievements.
Levesque has had other notable accomplishments over the past year. She was selected to participate in the Vimy Pilgrimage Program held April 2-10, a national experience commemorating Canada’s history and collective memory.
Levesque was also accepted into the Shad Canada (formerly Shad Valley) program taking place in July 2025 – a prestigious national academic enrichment program for youth leaders in science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. The program is open to Canadian and international students.
Levesque will be at the University of Toronto in a science, technology, engineering and mathematics program.
