The Honours & Awards System is also an excellent means of expressing appreciation to community organizations that provide assistance or support to St. John; of encouraging the dedication and commitment of fellow St. John members; of acknowledging humanitarian deeds and actions. The Honours Awards system is a structured, multi-leveled system designed to be progressive and recognize individuals or groups of individuals at all levels. This Honours & Awards Manual is designed to: . Be a resource document to provide an outline of the different types of awards available at each level of the organization. Be a user manual to assist in the successful step-by-step completion of award submissions. Be reference document for other sources of information regarding Honours and Awards. Some awards are automatically generated through administrative record-keeping, others are by way of applications, and still others are by nomination. Regardless, all awards require accurate completion of required documentation, and need to be completed with the up most care and attention to detail so as to maintain the integrity of the program. Generally, most locally-based awards are to be processed through the local Branch Honours & Awards process, and then submitted to St. John Council for Ontario Provincial Office (SJCO). This includes award nominations from Branch affiliated Community Services Units. Your comments and questions are always welcome. Please contact the SJCO Volunteer Development Coordinator for assistance or clarification. Sample blank forms may be appended to the back of the Manual for reference, however, please ensure that you only use the most current forms issued. Contact the SJCO Volunteer Development Coordinator for copies of current forms or our SharePoint site. Revised: Jan 2018 Page 4 of 62 St. John Council for Ontario Honours & Awards
