Honours & Awards

The CNMT Honours & Awards program has been designed with different expressions of recognition, based on different levels of service or contributions. Unless otherwise stated, they are not considered mutually exclusive; however, it would be considered rare to have multiple awards for the same person in any one year.

All Honours & Awards will be handled “In Confidence”, i.e., correspondence strictly controlled on a need-to-know basis (verbally, in documents or via email). The nominee(s) will not be made aware of the nomination until such time as it has been approved.
