Please note that this address is only for Search and Rescue nominations (federal level, and all provinces and territories), and federal nominations in the Resilient Communities, Youth, and Outstanding Contribution to Emergency Management categories.

Nominations sent to this address may be considered in a different category, as appropriate.

Additionally, if it is determined by the EMESA administrators that the scope of the nominee's achievements relates more to a different jurisdiction (e.g. provincial and territorial government instead of federal), the nominator will be informed, so the nomination can be sent to the appropriate jurisdiction.

Please contact your respective jurisdiction to submit your provincial or territorial form should it fall within that category.
