Funny that you mention it, but our two Allaire Medal recipients, Taylor Nicholson and Brittany Shaw, will be attending a dinner function hosted by the Governor General of Canada, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, at Rideau Hall later this month. The Governor General of Canada is the federal representative of Queen Elizabeth II, our head of state. His Excellency is the former President of the University of Waterloo, and actually attended the first ever Waterloo Regional in 2005.

We have not received an invitation to the White House, but would naturally be thrilled to do so. It would be an unimaginable honour.
