Sept 21 - 27 is Duke Awareness Week

This week is the launch of Duke Awareness Week. We will be having an official flag raising at Province House at 11:30 am Monday, Sept 22, with the LG and the Minister of Education. The groups are encouraged to follow through in their own communities with the following week-long themes:

  • Make it known Monday – Flag raising ceremony at Province House; plan to have a Flag raising ceremony in your community, school, etc. Make Duke flags, banner’s etc., and fly them proudly!

  • Talk it up Tuesday – Plan an information session in your club, school, etc., or maybe visit the younger grades to let them in on the Duke programme too!

  • aWEARness Wednesday – Wear your lanyard and membership card, Award Pin, hat, or clothing with pride, to help us raise awareness.

  • Thank you Thursday – Recognize members of your community (leaders, teachers, assessors, family, etc.) who have supported and helped you to participate in the Award Programme.

  • Fitness Friday – Stay active, and make special effort to take part in a physical recreation this Friday. While you are at it, use your hours towards your Award level!

  • Service Saturday – A great way to give back to your Community; get out and volunteer this Saturday. Plan a park clean-up, or help out a friend; be creative!
