The award consists of a plaque bearing the logo of the Society, as
well as the name of the award, the recipient, year and purpose of the
award. The award is presented at the Society’s annual
meeting.
The plaque is 8x10 inches (20x25cm) and made of solid cherry wood
backing with black matte metal plating. The Society’s logo
rests in the upper left corner, and the title of the Award is etched
beside this. On the lower half of the plate is the name of the
current recipient, year and brief description of why the recipient is
being honoured. As the society operates in two official
languages, French and English, the award recipient is given the option
of having the text of the award in either language.
The award is typically presented annually, although the society
reserves the right to not present the award if suitable nominees are
not forthcoming.
