CF Sports Awards Nomination Process
The CF Sports Awards were created to recognize the sports achievements of its serving and retired members, and the DND/PSP civilians employees that contribute to the CF Sports Program. This website has been created to explain the nomination process for the CF Sports Awards that are presented at the Annual CF Sports Awards Ceremony in the fall of each year (Hall of Fame, Honour Roll, and CF Sports Achievement Awards at the Environmental and CF Levels). Details about these awards, the categories covered by these awards, and the criteria for each award, can be found in the reference CFAO 50-17. This is an excellent resource to use when nominating a worthy individual as it provides background on all of the categories and explains the criteria for each.
For details on nominating individuals for a Unit or Base Level Award please contact the PSP Staff on your given base.
