The International Council for Canadian Studies bestows annually an international award of merit to recognize the contribution of individuals to Canadian Studies in Canada and abroad. Usually, the awards recognize institutional and organizational work. The ICCS Certificates of Merit were established in 1988.
The award consists of a certificate, which is usually presented to the winner during the ICCS President’s Reception held during the annual ICCS Annual General Meeting. Unfortunately the ICCS does not disburse for travel or accommodation. Should the person be unable to attend, the ICCS will send the certificate to the president/delegate of the recipient’s association to find an appropriate occasion to bestow the certificate.
Nominations may come from any country and may be made by individuals, institutions or organizations. Posthumous or self-nominations will not be considered. The selection of winners is made by the ICCS’ Executive Committee.
Nominations must include:
- One-two page statement explaining the reasons for the nomination;
- a 200–250 word citation (which will be reproduced on the certificate);
- one letter of recommendation.
The deadline for nomination is 05 May. Nominations should be sent to:
