CSPG Awards
Stanley Slipper Gold MedaL
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Stanley Slipper Medal is the CSPG’s highest Honour. “This pioneer and explorer in geology, engineering and natural gas technology bequeathed a fundamental knowledge, years ahead of his time and was considered by many a virtual Leonardo da Vinci of the Petroleum Industry. Slipper, our first President, deserved the honour (unbeknownst to him) of our highest award in the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists� (Aubrey Kerr).
The medal is presented annually by the CSPG for outstanding contributions to oil and gas exploration in Canada. Last year the medal was awarded to Gerry Macey.
The contributions of the winner of this award should encompass a number of activities related to aspects of petroleum exploration. Such activities include; initiating and or leading exploration programs, significant discoveries on new or existing exploration tends, teaching and or training of explorationists, and involvement in and leadership within geological societies and professional organizations.
The Committee is currently calling on the CSPG membership to provide additional nominations for this prestigious award. The Award winner must be a CSPG member and should be able to attend the awards presentation to be held in 2007.
Please include an updated bibliography and letters in support of your nominee.
