About the Donald J. Johnston Award

Purpose

To recognize and honour in perpetuity the spirit, imagination, dedication and contribution to the professional of financial planning in Canada – as exemplified by Financial Planners Standards Council (FPSC) founding president, Donald J. Johnston.

To create a platform for annual public recognition and appreciation of the significant contributions made by individuals (or groups) to the profession of financial planning in Canada – thereby raising general awareness of the progress being made to benefit consumers of financial planning services and inspiring further contribution to the advancement of the financial planning profession.
 

Ongoing Criteria for Award

The award will honour people who have made a significant contribution to the financial planning profession in Canada through a unique achievement or outstanding service that advances the financial planning profession in Canada. Nominees will be considered for their work and accomplishments in servicing or advancing the financial planning profession’s ability to benefit and protect Canadians seeking qualified financial planning; and/or their work and accomplishments in garnering greater respect and recognition for financial planning as a profession by regulators, legislators, industry, other professions and/or the marketplace. However, it is recognized that these benefits are not mutually exclusive, and it is expected that they will be broadly and diversely interpreted by the Award Committee.

Calls for nominations will be made annually and applications made available on-line at www.cfp-ca.org

Eligible nominations may stand for a maximum of three years.

All nominations will be considered by an Award Committee, which will be comprised of individuals from FPSC, board members as well as other appointees.
