The purpose of the Honours and Awards Committee is to ensure the Canadian Dam Association honours the contribution of CDA individual members and organizations in the dam industry by recognizing their support and achievements.
The CDA Life Membership may be granted to current or former CDA members whose lifetime of dedication and achievement has contributed significantly to the dam industry in Canada. The CDA Honours and Awards Committee recommends individual(s) to the CDA Board for receiving Life Membership.
Generally, recipients will have retired from active work (beyond occasional individual consulting) and will have been active members of the CDA or its predecessor associations for at least 10 years. Life Membership includes complimentary membership in CDA.
CDA is seeking nominations for this award in 2021.
Due to uncertain public health situation that is expected to extend through 2021, this year’s annual conference will be delivered using a fully virtual platform. Nevertheless, CDA is still seeking nominations for 2021. Life members honoured and recognized in 2021 will be announced and formally recognized by their peers and the industry during the 2021 annual conference.
