Good morning from Ottawa, APECS!
 
I am writing to you about the Call for Nominations for the Weston Family Prize for Lifetime Achievement in Northern Research, generously supported by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. We want to spread the word to as many Canadian polar researchers as possible. Is it possible to include the call for nominations in your newsletter? It's an excellent opportunity for polar researchers to recognize and celebrate the achievement of their senior peers. I have attached a jpeg and PDF version of the Call for Nominations from ACUNS and The W. Garfield  Weston Foundation. It would be nice to mail this out to your Canadian mailing list as well, and I would be happy to discuss this with you further.
 
Please feel free to get in touch with me at any time.
 
Sincerely,
