CCA/ACC Awards Program

THE CANADIAN CAMPING ASSOCIATION/ASSOCIATION DES CAMPS DU CANADA
AWARDS PROGRAM (Revised February 2007)


The Canadian Camping Association/Association des Camps du Canada has several awards designed to recognize individuals, camps, agencies or corporations.

Once approved by the CCA/ACC Board of Directors, the awards are presented by the respective Provincial Camping Associations at their annual meetings. All of the names of the Award winners become part of the CCA/ACC Honour Roll of Award Winners.

The Canadian Camping Association/Association des Camps du Canada Awards Program is a great way to recognize association members.

The CCA/ ACC awards are not intended to replace the volunteer recognition systems already in place within any Provincial Camping Association. The awards listed below are for volunteers that the Provincial Camping Associations feel should be recognized nationally.

All nominations MUST have prior approval of the nominee’s Provincial Camping Association or where applicable approval by the CCA/ ACC President’s Council.

Nominations may be submitted by any member of the CCA/ACC (including individuals) and MUST be received in writing, by the Awards Committee (Camping Association of Nova Scotia).

The Awards Committee looks forward to hearing (in writing) from you by the deadline dates of October 2nd, for approval at the November CCA Board Meeting, or January 2nd, for approval at the February CCA Board Meeting in any given year.
