Manmeet Singh Bhullar的家人与遗产奖

加拿大教育委员会理事会于2016年11月29日追授予已故的Manmeet Singh Bhullar遗产奖。

Manmeet Bhullar出生并受教于卡尔加里。他曾就读于Chief Justice Milvain学校和Annie Gale学校，并从Lester B. Pearson高中毕业。

在成为学生期间，Manmeet是他所在学校社区的积极成员和热情的学生运动员。

他获得了Athabasca大学的文学学士学位和温莎大学的法学学士学位。他在2008年当选为卡尔加里-蒙特罗斯地区的东北选区的省议员，成为阿尔伯塔省第27届议会中最年轻的成员。

在2008年至2015年期间，Manmeet担任多个不同职务，包括高等教育和技术部助理、市政事务助理、服务阿尔伯塔省部长、人力资源部长和基础设施部长。在担任高等教育和技术部助理时，他致力于将Mount Royal College指定为Mount Royal University。

作为人力资源部长，他解除了禁止养育儿童家庭谈论他们经历的出版禁令。

他是青年、正义和教育的热情倡导者。在2008年的一次演讲中，Bhullar说：

“我想激励我选区的年轻人。我想激励一代年轻人，如果我能激励其中一个人获得高等教育，那我就完成了我的工作。”今年早些时候，加拿大教育委员会宣布正在建设中的Martindale新学校将以Bhullar命名。

Manmeet Bhullar全身心地为我们的社区服务。他不懈努力地改善我们省份的年轻人生活。他为我们的学生树立了加拿大教育委员会四大目标之一的楷模——公民素质。

我们的学生能够看到他们的辛勤工作和承诺如何真正改变我们的社会。毫无疑问，他继续成为政治家和公民们的灵感。Manmeet是公共教育的坚定信仰者。

在接受Athabasca大学采访时，他告诉该大学：“公共教育是我们确保所有孩子，尤其是在教育没有受到重视的环境中成长的孩子能够茁壮成长的最重要工具。”

教育委员会理事会也分享着这一基本信念。Manmeet Bhullar留下了真正的遗产，我们对他深感思念。

该奖项由Bhullar的家人接受。

加拿大教育委员会遗产奖庆祝卡尔加里的公共教育以及为我们社区做出贡献的个人。在城市的每个角落、全国乃至更远的地方，我们的校友都产生了持久的影响。

公共教育在我们的社区、国家和世界上产生了巨大的影响。遗产奖获得者将体现公共教育系统的工作，并代表加拿大教育委员会的遗产：为生活、工作和激励终身学习准备学生。

在加拿大教育委员会，成功是高度个人化的，每个学生都定义自己最好的学习方式，我们的教师力求认识到每个学生独特的才能和天赋。我们要表彰那些继续这项工作的个人，他们利用自己的独特才能使我们的世界变得更美好，这些前学生就是我们的遗产。

The family of Manmeet Singh Bhullar with the Legacy Award

The CBE Board of Trustees presented the CBE Legacy Award posthumously to Manmeet Singh Bhullar on Nov. 29, 2016.

Manmeet Bhullar was born and educated in Calgary. He attended Chief Justice Milvain School and Annie Gale School and graduated from Lester B. Pearson High School.

During his time as a student, Manmeet was an active member of his school communities and an enthusiastic student athlete.

He earned a bachelor of arts from Athabasca University and a bachelor of laws from the University of Windsor. Elected MLA for the northeast constituency of Calgary-Montrose in 2008, he was the youngest member to be elected to Alberta’s 27th legislature.

Between 2008 and 2015, Manmeet  served in a number of different roles, including parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, parliamentary assistant to Municipal Affairs, Minister of Service Alberta, Minister of Human Services and Minister of Infrastructure.
While parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, he worked to designate Mount Royal College as Mount Royal University.

As Minister of Human Services, he lifted a publication ban that allowed families of children in foster care to speak about their experiences.

He was a passionate advocate for youth, justice and education. In a speech given in 2008, Bhullar said,

“I want to inspire young people in my constituency. I want to inspire a generation of young people, and if I can inspire just one of them to get a postsecondary education, I will have done my job.”
Earlier this year, the CBE announced that the new school under construction in Martindale would be named in Bhullar’s honor.

Manmeet Bhullar served our communities with his energy, his passion and his whole heart. He worked tirelessly to better the lives of the youth of our province. He modeled for our students one of the four CBE Results – Citizenship.

Our students are able to see how their hard work and commitment can make true changes to our society. It is no doubt that he continues to be an inspiration for politicians and citizens alike.
Manmeet was a strong believer in public education.

He told the Athabasca University in an interview that “public education is the most important tool we have to ensure that all kids, and especially those growing up in environments where education isn’t appreciated, can thrive.”

The Board of Trustees shares this fundamental belief. Manmeet Bhullar left a true Legacy, and he is truly missed. 

The award was accepted by Bhullar’s family.

The CBE Legacy Award celebrates public education in Calgary and the individuals who have contributed to our communities. In every corner of the city, across the country and beyond, our alumni have made a lasting impact.

Public education makes a difference in our communities, our country and our world. Legacy Award recipients will embody the work of the public education system and represent the legacy of the CBE: preparing students for life, work and inspiring life-long learning.

Success at the CBE is highly personal, with each student defining how they learn best and our teachers working to recognize the unique talents and gifts of each student. We want to acknowledge the individuals who continue this work, who use their unique talents to make our world better, the former students who are our legacy.
