Individual Nomination Criteria
1. All applicable parts of the nomination form must be completed and the form signed by the Nominator and Seconder. The Nominator and Seconder must be careful to address each point in the criteria listed below and to verify the accuracy of the data provided. Incomplete forms or those that do not comply with the criteria will be returned.
2. Nominations are assessed according to the following criteria as they relate to the nominee’s career, demonstrated leadership qualities and contributions to the advancement of Canadian aerospace:
- challenges faces and effectively met
- organizational and management ability demonstrated
- stability and consistency of performance
- special talents demonstrated
- overall significance of the nominee’s achievements especially those contributions considered a lasting benefit to Canada and its communities
- recognition in degrees, honours and awards
- demonstrated respect for the nominee within the aviation and aerospace community
- demonstrated reliability and responsibility
3. Nominators must address these criteria in a detailed and concise account, using the template supplied below to organize the content of your nominees biography.
4. The nomination package should, if possible, include copies or evidence of:
- licenses held or other relevant qualifications;
- details of any military service;
- decorations, honours, awards, degrees and other recognition;
- a head and shoulders photograph suitable for reproduction
5. At least four (4) letters of support supplementing the nomination are required from persons other than the Nominator and Seconder. These letters must reference factual information, preferably additional to that in the nomination document, and not just provide favourable opinions. Nominators are encouraged to provide letters from a variety of sources and to avoid pro-forma endorsements. Hand written letters must be clearly readable. ALL letters submitted must include the return address, phone number and/or email address of the sender.
6. While induction into Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame is intended to honour individual contributions and accomplishments, it is recognized that in exceptional circumstances groups of individuals, including members of families, working together may have made equally exceptional contributions meriting collective recognition. For assistance with proposed nominations of this type, please contact the Hall directly.
7. It is important for nominators to understand that the Nomination Review Committee will not add to details presented, but will merely verify their authenticity and evaluate the Nominee's overall contribution to Canadian aerospace.
9. Nominations must be postmarked by May 31st to receive consideration by the Nomination Review Committee for that year. Receipt of the nomination will be acknowledged. Nominators will be advised of the status of their candidate’s file after the final inductees have been confirmed for the year.
- All Nominations remain active for a minimum of five years. Short-listed nominations not selected for induction remain active for ten years in total. Thereafter, nominations may be re-submitted twice more.
