MÉTIS COMMUNITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Categories & Rules
Nomination Rules & Categories
Nomination Rules
All winners (one winner per category) must find their own transportation to the award ceremony at the Saskatoon Western Development Museum, Thursday, September 7, 2023, at 5:00 pm. If they are travelling in from out of town, they are responsible for their own lodging. They along with their guests will be invited to the Award Night free of charge (a family supper will be provided).
We accept nominations from all over Canada but just to note we cannot provide any travel expenses, if they are chosen for the award, and would like to attend the ceremony. But if they do get chosen and cannot attend, we will still announce the award during the evening and mail the certificate to them. We accept nominations for those who have passed for their family to accept the award in their memory.
