Achievement Awards – one month from today

Here it is September 13th, 2010. The 15th Annual Sports Media Canada Achievement Awards will be presented during a luncheon at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto exactly one month from today.
Awards are presented in recognition of Outstanding Sportswriting, Outstanding Sports Broadcasting, Outstanding Sports Photography, to an Outstanding Canadian Sports Executive and for an Outstanding Career in Sports Journalism.
Inclusion on the Sports Media Canada Honour Roll will be accorded posthumously to prominent Canadian sports journalists of years past.
And there’s a special ‘President’s Award’ to be presented as well by Sports Media Canada president Steve McAllister.

The President’s Award was added to the list last year with Tom Anselmi of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment an inaugural recipient for his leadership and persistence in the creation and growth of the Toronto FC franchise in Major League Soccer.
A second President’s Award went to TSN in honour of their 25th Anniversary of leadership in the TV coverage of Canadian and international sport.
The SMC President’s Award recognizes and honours events and/or individuals not necessarily directly involved in sports journalism but making a significant impact on Canadian sport and its journalists.
