The Canadian Cartographic Association (CCA) Awards of Distinction, program was initiated in 1994 to help recognize individuals or groups who have made exceptional contributions in the field of Cartography in one of three categories:
- Exceptional professional contributions to the practice of cartography
- Exceptional scholarly contributions to cartography
- Exceptional contributions to the Canadian Cartographic Association.
Nominations for future awards may be forwarded by any CCA member to the Past-President or any member of the CCA Executive
Note: that Awards are not necessarily awarded every year.
