More than 80 young folks from across B.C. flocked to Burnaby last Saturday to collect their Duke of Edinburgh awards.
The awards program is for youth between the ages of 14 and 25, recognizing those who have completed activities in four areas: voluntary service, “adventurous journey,” skill and physical recreation.
Two youth from Burnaby were present to get their award certificates: Aleem Dhanji from a local Scouts group, and Omar Virani, who lives in Burnaby but goes to school in Maple Ridge. An additional group of youth connected to the local Ismaili Centre also received awards.
