Markus Valtonen, a Grade 11 student at École secondaire du Sacré-Coeur in Sudbury, recently completed a six-week training camp in Banff.
At the completion of the Leadership and Challenge Course, Valtonen was awarded the Top Cadet on Course award.
The teen will have ample opportunities to share his leadership skills with fellow students and staff at Sacré-Coeur during the upcoming school year, a press release from Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario said.
