A message from Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney:

==========================================

I am pleased to announce the launch of Canada’s Citizenship Award 2010. Formerly the Citation for Citizenship, this award recognizes Canadian individuals who dedicate themselves tirelessly to active citizenship in their communities. A successful nominee is a Canadian who demonstrates exemplary citizenship by assisting newcomers to successfully integrate into the Canadian family. Or a Canadian who promotes active citizenship by putting into practice the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship. Recipients of Canada’s Citizenship Award will be announced during Citizenship Week which runs from October 18-24, 2010.

I encourage you to help make this award special and significant by promoting it within your network and with your stakeholders and partners. Information and nomination forms can be downloaded on-line at www.cic.gc.ca/citizenshipaward. Hard copies of the brochure and promotional posters can be ordered through Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s distribution services. Please forward your request to:

Distribution Services

Help us recognize the outstanding work of some outstanding Canadians! The deadline to submit nominations for this year’s award is September 3, 2010.

Yours Sincerely,

The Honourable Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism
