The Gold Medal and Convocation ceremony takes place Sunday at Mount Royal University in Calgary. Students will receive a gold medal for achieving the highest marks in their region as the music and arts community comes together to commemorate and celebrate the  bright, talented and inspiring young people dedicated to excellence in music education.

Regional Gold Medals are awarded each academic year (September 1 to August 31) to Conservatory examination candidates in Preparatory A and B and Grades 1 to 10 who achieve the highest mark in their respective province or designated region.

Eligible candidates must score at least 80% on their practical examination and must have completed the co-requisite theory examinations for their respective grade and discipline. Gold Medal ceremonies are held annually in cities across Canada, often in conjunction with Convocation ceremonies, to recognize students’ achievements and acknowledge the contributions of their teachers.
