Sheri Nielson Auditor Recognition Award

CanadaGAP is pleased to call for nominations for the Sheri Nielson Auditor Recognition Award. This recognition is awarded annually by CanAgPlus to a deserving CanadaGAP auditor who has shown extraordinary heart, dedication and commitment to their role. The recipient will be an auditor who has made a significant contribution to the program, the growers, and the industry that CanadaGAP serves. In this way we wish to help keep Sheri’s memory alive. Sheri Nielson was a long-time CanadaGAP auditor and much-loved member of the agricultural community who passed away in 2022.

The award will be presented during a special ceremony prior to the 2024 AGM. 

Nominations for the award will be accepted until October 1, 2024.

Potential recipients may not self-nominate; nominations must come from another individual or organization, whether that be the certification body, another auditor or colleague, a program participant, a growers’ association, or another member of the industry or the food safety community. 

To submit a nomination, email info@canadagap.ca. Include a brief description of the auditor’s contributions or qualities (1 or 2 paragraphs max). 

Direct any questions to the CanadaGAP office at info@canadagap.ca or 613-829-4711.
