Each year the Canadian Geotechnical Society recognizes the considerable contributions and achievements of geotechnical professionals in Canada and abroad. In 2023, these honours will be presented during the Awards Banquet at the CGS Annual Conference (GeoSaskatoon 2023) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Full details of all CGS Awards, including past recipients, are available on Awards and Honours page of the website.
If you know a candidate deserving of a CGS Award, please send your nomination (including the name of the award) to the CGS National Office at awards@cgs.ca by May 15, 2023 (deadline for majority of prizes).
Nominations should include the name and contact information of the nominator, a resume or curriculum vitae of the nominee, and a letter highlighting the contributions and achievements that make the nominee a worthy candidate for that specific award. Letters of support from others (CGS members and non-members) are encouraged. If possible, nominations should include an appropriate head and shoulders photo of the nominee.
Funding for many of these awards is provided by the Canadian Foundation for Geotechnique, so remember to support your Foundation!
