Over the past several months, the juries have been busy reading and deliberating. The finalists will be announced later this month and the winners will be announced in mid-March, prior to the awards ceremony on March 23.
The Federation is also pleased to reveal the new visual identity for the Canada Prizes. The logo draws upon several images, including a bookmark and an award ribbon, but also a podium, which speaks to the mission of the prizes to highlight the importance of scholarship to Canadian society and to provoke and inform national conversations on important topics.
