Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG) Awards - NOMINATIONS are invited for the following categories:
1. AWARD FOR SCHOLARLY DISTINCTION IN GEOGRAPHY
The purpose of the award is to recognize a member of the CAG for outstanding scholarly work in geography either
in the form of sustained contributions over a number of years or as a single major research contribution.
2. AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING GEOGRAPHY
In recognition of the primary importance of teaching excellence in geographic education, the Canadian Association of
Geographers (CAG) offers this award to a member of the CAG who teaches in a recognized university, college,
CEGEP or high school.
At a minimum, a nominee must be the member of the teaching staff, full or part-time, hired to teach a course in any
one year, who has primary responsibility for organizing and presenting course material. Normally, a nominee would
be a member of the teaching staff, who has distinguished herself or himself in courses with small and large enrolments,
at different levels of instruction, over several years of teaching in the nominating institution.
3. AWARD FOR GEOGRAPHY IN THE SERVICE OF GOVERNMENT OR BUSINESS
In recognition of the primary importance of excellence in geography in the service of government or business, the
Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG) offers this award to someone who has carried out major work for or in
the public or private sector.
Normally a nominee would have distinguished himself/ herself through the development or application of geographic
techniques or tools used in the service of government or business or have a record of achievement for geography in
the service of government or business over a long period of time.
4. AWARD FOR SERVICE TO THE PROFESSION OF GEOGRAPHY
This award is intended to recognize a member of the CAG for exceptional professional service over a period of
years - for example, in the university training of geographers, in administration or similar activities in the public service,
as an officer of a learned society, or in such other ways as have significantly advanced the profession and practice of
geography in Canada.
NOMINATION PROCEDURES
A separate nomination must be submitted for each award and must include the cover page provided. The letter of
nomination must indicate the category of award, provide a succinct rationale for the nomination, and be accompanied
by a legible and current curriculum vitae giving relevant information about the nominee, his/her publications, special
record of professional service, research documentation and achievements in his/her field. Failure to provide such
supporting evidence in complete and legible form is a disservice to the candidate and cannot help but detract from a
proper assessment of the nomination.
Nominations may include non-Canadians who have made a significant contribution to Canadian geography.
Nominations will also be considered for group research and endeavours which merit recognition by the CAG. It
should be noted that unsuccessful nominations presented for one year will be reconsidered for two additional years.
No new nomination need be submitted, though any new information is welcome. Up to two awards may be made in
each category annually.
Requests for nominations from CAG members (private, public and corporate sector members, faculty, staff, graduate
and undergraduate students) are being solicited. Nominations 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.
Nominations should be submitted by January 31, 2001 and addressed to the:
