Awards & In Memoriam
During the fall convention, we present two awards as well as honor those who have passed away during the year. The awards are:
- R.W. Hay Award: Any chief administrative officer (CAO) who served or is serving in the current calendar year in an RMA member municipality is eligible to be nominated.
- Long Service Award: Open for all councillors and CAOs who qualify for a long service award
- In Memoriam: Please be sure to notify us of anyone who has passed away during the year so we can honor their contributions
Keynote Speaker
We are excited to welcome our keynote speaker this year: journalist, podcaster, and 17-season host of ‘The Current’, Anna Maria Tremonti.
For 17 years, Anna Maria Tremonti hosted CBC Radio One’s The Current, where her mix of hard-edged journalism and hard-won empathy helped build the show into Canada’s most listened-to radio program. She is currently the host of Welcome to Paradise on CBC Podcasts. Her recognizable voice, thoughtful questions, and her approach to finding the humanity in the people you meet, draws listeners in.
A masterful storyteller, Tremonti delivers talks that touch the human spirit and captivate audiences.
