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. The cash award of $2,000 is made possible by grants from EAC and several publishers (HarperCollins, Random House of Canada, Breakwater Books, Orca Book Publishers, UBC Press, Madison, the C. D. Howe Institute, New Society Publishers and the University of Calgary Press) as well as by donations from association members.
