Call for Nominations for the Canadian Underwater Conference & Exhibition
Lifetime Achievement Award
The Canadian Underwater Conference Committee hosted its first conference in 2008. That year we were pleased to present two awards: the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Technical Contributions Award. These awards are intended to recognize and honour individuals whose dedication and accomplishments have significantly contributed to the Canadian underwater industry.
Subsequently it was decided that only one award would be presented per year; in 2009 we awarded the Technical Contributions Award to Mr. David Fullerton, in 2010 we awarded the Lifetime Achievement award to Mr. Bob Landry and in 2011 we awarded the Technical Contributions Award to Dr. James McFarlane of ISE.
At the 2012 conference, to be held in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, October 21st to the 23rd, we shall once again honour an individual who merits the Lifetime Achievement Award.
No restrictions are placed on whether the individual is or was an occupational diver, is directly engaged in occupational diving, their nationality, or other factors – only that the individual selected has made significant technical contributions to the Canadian underwater industry.
Please submit your nomination to the Diver Certification Board of Canada (DCBC) office no later than September 29, 2012. In doing so, please remember that this is the highest honour that an individual can receive on behalf of the Canadian underwater industry and therefore, you honour that person through submittal of a nomination that is as thorough and well detailed as possible. Attachments to this form are welcomed.
Thank you,
