The form must be accompanied by documentation which provides evidence of the exemplary nature of the nominee’s EMS history. This will give the Awards Committee a basis for ensuring standards within Manitoba.

Documentation need not be lengthy or expansive, but must adequately illustrate where the performance of the nominee exceeds that expected of an EMS practitioner with a similar employment history.

Nomination forms may be obtained from any member of the Awards Committee and can be returned to any member of the Awards Committee.

Individuals may be nominated by their employer or senior supervisor. Self –nominations will not be accepted.
