The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Young Canadians Challenge is an exciting self-development Program available to all young people, equipping them with life skills to make a difference to themselves, their communities and their country.

The Award is flexible and can be done by anyone aged 14-25 in their own time: mental or physical ability or social circumstances should never be a barrier. Moreover, the individual chooses what activities to do depending on his/her interests and resources. If you are over 25 then do not despair! You too can get involved by becoming an Award leader - the backbone of the Award Program and the key to its success.
There are three levels of the Award in which you can participate - Bronze, Silver and Gold, with each successive level demanding increased commitment.

You do not have to start at the Bronze level. If you are over 15 you can join directly at the Silver level or if you are over 16, directly at Gold.
