Barry Diemert Staff Arts Award
This Barry Diemert Staff Arts Award will be presented annually to a Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) Staff Arts member, who has made a significant contribution to Staff Arts.
This $500 award will be presented in the award winner’s name, to the home school of the award winner. Non-school based award winners shall designate a TCDSB school to be the beneficiary of the award. This award will be used to further the arts in the school.
The year, name and school of the award winner will be inscribed each year on the award plaque.
By sponsoring this award, Staff Arts wishes to honor the contributions made by Barry Diemert to Staff Arts, by recognizing others who have made similar contributions and in so doing support, in a tangible way, the arts in TCDSB schools.
