AWARD NOMINATIONS
Canada Council Award Nominations
due April 30
ASM’s Canada Council seeks nominations for its 2016
awards program. These prestigious awards include:
The G. MacDonald Young Award–The ASM Canada
Council established this award in 1988 to recognize distin-
guished and significant contributions by an ASM member
in Canada. This award consists of a plaque and a piece of
Canadian native soapstone sculpture.
M. Brian Ives Lectureship –This award was estab-
lished in 1971 by the ASM Canada Council to identify a
distinguished lecturer who will present a technical talk at
a regular monthly meeting of each Canadian ASM Chapter
who elects to participate. The winner receives a $1000 hono-
rarium and travels to each ASM Canada Chapter throughout
the year to give their presentation with expenses covered by
the ASM Canada Council.
John Convey Innovation Awards–In 1977, the Can-
ada Council created a new award to recognize contributions
of sustaining member companies for further development
of the materials engineering industry in Canada. The award
considers a new product and/or service directed at the
Canadian or international marketplace. Two awards are
presented each year, one to a company with annual sales
in excess of $5 million, and one to a company with annual
sales below $5 million. Recent recipients include Canmet-
MATERIALS and Nemak, both of Ontario.
Nomination forms and complete rules can be found at
