Honourary Membership for Life Award
The Honorary Life Membership in CAMA is an honour presented by the Board of Directors to a member, past or present, who has been nominated by his or her peers. This award recognizes an individual's commitment to advancing the objectives of the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA) and the contributions they've made to both the Association and the municipal profession across Canada. It is intended to reflect honour upon CAMA as well as upon the individual. It is only awarded in exceptional circumstances and no more than one award will be presented in any one year (unless there is a tie).
Honourary membership is a lifetime appointment with all benefits of a Regular CAMA Member of the By-law, with the added privilege that their annual dues will be waived and that their Annual Conference registration fee will be reduced.
Previous recipients of the award include: the late John Robison, the late Cy Armstrong, the late Robert Byron, Wes Lancaster, Murray MacLean, Paul Stapleton, Richard White, Bob Linner, Doug Lagore, Gerard Lewis, the late Cecil Vincent, Jim Toye, Doug Lychak, Ron Shaw, Duncan Campbell, Chris MacPherson, Janice Baker, Roy Brideau, Jake Rudolph, and Barry Carroll.
Criteria
The criteria for the Honourary Membership for Life designation are currently under review and will be finalized by November 2025. Applications will be accepted until the deadline of January 31, 2026.
