G. SYDNEY HALTER, O.C., Q.C. MEMORIAL AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOOTBALL OFFICATING
The Halter award has been developed with the Halter family and would not only honour the CFL’s first Commissioner, but also bring recognition to football officiating, which the Halter family believes is a vital component of the game.
From the CFL perspective, it will raise the profile of officiating, while providing an important link with amateur football, with the presentation being made annually as part of the Vanier Cup festivities. We hope that it will heighten people’s awareness and appreciation for officials and provide a useful tool in attracting more people into officiating at the Amateur level, a significant need across the country.
The award is to be presented annually and is open to any person in the country who has made an outstanding contribution to football officiating, both on and off the field. The recipient's name shall be placed on a trophy and a cheque for $1000.00 will be donated in the recipient’s name to his local officiating association to be used for Officiating development. In addition, the recipient shall receive a personal memento.
The award will be presented annually at the Vanier Cup Luncheon, sponsored in part by the CFL. It will provide excellent exposure for officiating and celebrate commitment and excellence.
