From the Canadian Industrial Relations Association:

Dear CIRA Members,

For more than 40 years, CIRA has given the Gérard Dion Award to a person or an organization who made a remarkable contribution to our field of study or the world of work. Since 1990, the award is named after abbé Gérard Dion, professor of labour relations at Université Laval and founding member of our association. 

The organizing committee of the conference is mandated to submit a list of candidates to the executive committee. In order to do so, we would like you to take part in this consultation process by suggesting candidates to be shortlisted.

Suggestions should be made by at least two (2) CIRA members, and sent no later than March 15th 2021 to the following address: cira-acri.2021@ulaval.ca.

Kind regards,
