Regional Chapters
Regional representation is of the utmost importance to
the Foundation to foster nominations and recognition of
innovative Canadians coast-to-coast. The Board of
Trustees and Selection Committee are comprised of
Canadians from across Canada, and the annual Awards Gala
is staged in a different city each year - from Vancouver
to Halifax.
Regional Chapters, however, are the real key to
enhancing the interest in an recognition of Canadian
innovators. The goal of Regional Chapters is to develop
a greater profile for the Foundation, the nominees and
the Award Winners in communities across Canada. Each
Chapter is comprised of individuals keenly interested in
innovation including past Award Winners.
The objectives of Regional Chapters are to:
- Enhance awareness of the Foundation, the Awards and innovation
- Promote the submission of high quality nominations
- Celebrate qualified nominees
Chapters are established in the following regions:
