Tom Fairley Award for Editorial Excellence
Established in 1983 and presented annually by the Editors' Association of Canada, The Tom Fairley Award for Editorial Excellence recognizes the editor's often invisible contribution to written communication.

Howe Institute, New Society Publishers and the University of Calgary Press) as well as by donations from association members.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or programs:
“Self-esteem evolves in kids primarily through the quality of our relationships with them. Because they can’t see themselves directly, children know themselves by reflection. For the first several years of their lives, you are their major influence. Later on, teachers and friends come into the picture. But especially at the beginning, you’re it with a capital I.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
