OVERVIEW

We have established an Honours and Awards Committee to review nominees for awards in accordance with UTE Regulations.

This committee oversees the awarding of the:

Godfrey Cote Award: Formerly known as the Award of Merit, this award is now presented to nominees who have: (i) demonstrated their commitment to achieving the aims and objectives of the Union; (ii) exhibited exemplary service at any level of the union; and, (iii) accumulated service at any level of the union for a minimum of five years.
Certificate of Achievement: This certificate is awarded to nominees who have: (i) demonstrated their commitment to achieving the aims and objectives of the union; and, (ii) exhibited exemplary service at any level of the union.
Humanitarian Award: This award is presented to nominees who : (i) are a member of UTE in good standing; (ii) have demonstrated their commitment to a humanitarian cause; (iii) have exhibited exemplary service to others within their community, their country or throughout the world.
International Children’s Awareness Canada sponsorship. UTE subsidizes a student and a member in good standing, to accompany the ICA team to Africa in order to assist in the job of bringing fresh water to the villages of Africa.

Not only do we give out awards, the Honours and Awards Committee has the job of awarding Scholarship awards to members of UTE or their dependents. There are 10 Regional awards at $1000 each and 2 National awards of $2500 each. Council passed a resolution to name one of the National awards, the Diana Gee Scholarship Fund.

While not directly under the responsibility of the committee, UTE Locals are empowered to award union service pins of three, five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 years to members who have served the interests of the membership over these periods of time. These pins are presented annually, on the recommendation of either national or local union officers.
