Please note that these addresses are only for SAR nominations (federal level, and all provinces/territories), and federal nominations in the Resilient Communities, Youth, and Outstanding Contribution to Emergency Management categories.
Nominations sent to these addresses may be considered in a different category, as appropriate.
Additionally, if it is determined by the EMESA administrators that the scope of the nominee's achievements relates more to a different jurisdiction (e.g. provincial/territorial instead of federal), the nominator will be informed, so he/she can send the nomination to the appropriate jurisdiction, as appropriate.
For SAR category awards, nominations will flow through the National SAR Secretariat, who will engage the SAR community to select nominations for submission to the General Selection Committee.
For non-SAR categories, provinces and territories may submit up to five nominees in each category. If you would like to know more about the nomination process in your province or territory, visit the Provincial/Territorial Contacts page.
