E.A. Danby Awards
Named in honour of AMCTO’s first President, the E.A. Danby Awards are presented annually to municipalities that demonstrate, through a specific initiative, a willingness to explore innovative techniques. Recipients must be able to demonstrate the tangible results of these efforts as they impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the municipal corporation. The E.A. Danby Awards focus on initiatives that fall within the following categories: Municipal Finance, Municipal Administration, and Implementation of Legislation.
This is a tiered awards program based on the size of municipality, with awards granted to municipalities with populations less than 20,000 or 20,000 and greater.
Receiving an E.A. Danby Award provides your municipality with opportunities to:
- Be recognized and acknowledged for your commitment to performance improvement;
- Enhance your image as an attractive community to live and work;
- Demonstrate to residents the valuable work that is being done on their behalf; and
- Share your innovative ideas to benefit the entire municipal sector
Application deadline: Friday, April 21st at 5:00 PM ET.
