By Wyn Smith, National Recognition Committee chair (<\/b><\/i>wyn.smith@skipatrol.ca<\/b><\/i><\/a><\/u><\/span>)<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

The CSP national recognition program recognizes significant contributions and outstanding achievements by our members, and in some cases, non-members who assist and support our efforts. It complements local patrol, zone and division programs, providing the CSP with a framework to acknowledge contributions by our most dedicated members throughout their patrolling careers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re pleased and proud to share this year\u2019s recipients of national awards, ranging from years-of-service milestones to life member awards, from education to leadership contributions and demonstrations of bravery and lifesaving first aid skills. This year we are recognizing 123 recipients from 32 zones. Congratulations to these deserving patrollers and patrol supporters. Thank-you for your dedication and excellence.<\/p>\n

Thanks as well to those who took the time to prepare well-researched and documented submissions that persuasively portrayed why these recipients are deserving of national recognition. And finally, thank you to the members of the national recognition committee for their time and effort to review and evaluate more than 150 submissions this past year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
