"The Marion Drysdale Awards honour a former senior secretary with OSSTF: Marion was a keen reader whose insatiable curiosity and joy in the printed word led her on many journeys of discovery. Marion Drysdale left an indelible mark on all those around her and OSSTF chose to remember Marion by naming the provincial student award in her honour."

"The Marion Drysdale contest is a writing and creative arts competition which is open to all public secondary school students in Ontario. The competition is meant to encourage the intellectual development of our students and an interest in society. The 1984 Provincial Assembly established the awards in honour of Marion Drysdale, a secretary at OSSTF Provincial Office for twenty-two years, for her dedicated work over so many years."

The theme of the 2006 Marion Drysdale Awards is "Thinking Globally".  Thinking Globally can mean many different things to many different people. Look
beyond your own borders. Question where we fit within the global community. Consider political, economic, environmental, health and social justice issues or reflect upon unity, harmony, equity and awareness. Thinking Globally can include mistakes of the past, tragedy and beauty of today, and hopes or fears for the future.
