Nominations procedures of the CAG Awards
Eligibility
The nominee must be a current member of the CAG, EXCEPT in the case of the Award for Geography in the Service of Government or Business. Nominees may include non-Canadians who have made significant contributions to Canadian geography
Nominations
A separate letter of nomination must be submitted for each award. Each nomination must include the nomination cover page which may be downloaded here. The nomination cover page must be signed by five CAG members or, in the case of the Award For Excellence In Teaching Geography, by five students or co-workers. If this is impractical, the names of the five nominators may be printed on the form provided that each nominator's support is confirmed by an e-mail sent to the CAG secretary at valerie.shoffey@cag-acg.ca..
The letter of nomination/support must indicate the category of award, provide a succinct rationale for the nomination, and be accompanied by an electronic version of a current curriculum vitae. Only one letter of nomination/support from the chief nominator will be accepted. Failure to provide such supporting evidence in complete and legible form is a disservice to the candidate and prejudices a fair and comprehensive assessment of the nomination. The letter, curriculum vitae and any other supporting materials to a maximum of 35 pages total should be sent as an e-mail attachment to valerie.shoffey@cag-acg.ca.
Unsuccessful nominations will be retained and reconsidered for two additional years. In such cases, a new nomination is not required, however, additional information from the nominator is welcome provided that it is submitted prior to the next year's deadline. Up to two awards may be made in each category annually.
Deadline: Nominations must be received electronically by the CAG office at valerie.shoffey@cag-acg.ca by January 31.
The cover page should be faxed to (514) 398-7437 or mailed to:
