The Canadian Royal Heritage Award
Prix du Fonds du patrimoine royal du Canada
The Canadian Royal Heritage Award is given annually by the Trust to
recognise individuals or corporate bodies that have made an outstanding
contribution towards preserving, adding to or making known Canada's
royal heritage.
A Message from Kirk Howard,
Chairman of The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust
As part of its work to expand public knowledge and appreciation of
the Crown, The Canadian Royal Heritage Trust in 2003 established a national
Canadian Royal Heritage Award. The purpose of the Award is to recognize
individuals or corporate bodies that have made an outstanding contribution
towards preserving, adding to or making known Canada's royal heritage.
Members of the public are invited to nominate a person or group of
persons for the Canadian Royal Heritage Award, which was given for
the first time in 2004.
A contribution worthy of recognition could involve the restoration
of a royal monument, preservation of an object or site with monarchial
associations or creation of some entirely new manifestation of the influence
and effect of the Crown, thereby adding to the existing heritage. It
could also be something that furthered knowledge or study of the Crown
in Canada in the academic rather than physical sphere.
The terms Crown and Monarchy mean anything associated with a Sovereign
past or present; a member of the Royal Family past or present; a viceregal
representative past or present; or the institution of the Crown.
Individuals or corporate bodies are welcome to submit more than one
nomination. To do so use the Nomination Form found on this website.
The deadline for nominations is 30th June each year. All nominations must be
sent to Canadian Royal Heritage Award, Suite 206A, 3050 Yonge Street,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4N 2K4 by e-mail or faxed or mailed as indicated
at the bottom of the form.
