randy wilkie elected to the college of fellows of the royal canadian geography society

congratulations to randy wilkie (contract lecturer, faculty of education), who has been elected to the college of fellows of the royal canadian geographic society.

randy was nominated for this prestigious honour by his colleagues at the ontario association for geographic and environmental education (oagee), where he has served as a regional councilor for over 25 years. during that time he has helped to promote geography and assist geography teachers through the publication of teaching resources, assistance in developing the grades 7-12 ontario geography curriculum, and the creation of an oagee geography poster series (many of these posters hang in ontario classrooms today). he was also awarded the oagee award of distinction in 2011, among numerous other geography-related awards, honours, publications, and distinctions throughout his career. 

according to the rcgs, fellows are community leaders who act as ambassadors for the society, helping through volunteerism, advice and giving, building community and furthering their mission to make canada better known to canadians and the world. the rcgs notes that randy’s election to the college of fellows reflects his commitment to canada and its remarkable geography.
