2011 EQUITY HONOURS AWARD NOMINATION DEADLINE IS EXTENDED TO MAY 6

A larger than usual volume of mail created by the ongoing federal
election has led to unexpected delays at Canada Post. In order to
facilitate nominations for the 2011 Honours Awards, the submission
deadline has been extended to May 6 for applications postmarked by May
2.

Equity's Honours Awards selection committee needs your assistance. It's
time to HONOUR your mentor; HONOUR your teacher; HONOUR your community
volunteers; HONOUR your inspiration; HONOUR individuals who have made a
difference in your career, your business, and your Association.

Worthy candidates live and work across all Equity's regions and
disciplines. Your nomination will ensure that Council's Honours
Committee knows of all deserving candidates.
