History:
The CanSPEP Awards program was created in 2006 and seeks to recognize members and industry contributors who have had a significant impact on the association. Based on merit as determined by a selection committee, and ratified by the Board of Directors, not all award categories are fulfilled annually.

It is time to nominate fellow colleagues and peers for one or more of the CanSPEP Awards. Nomination forms must be submitted by the deadline of May 19th. We look forward to announcing and celebrating the award recipients at the 2023 CanSPEP Conference in St. John's, NL, August 1-4, 2023.

Below describes the purpose of each award, and past winners.
