Award Winners
From EGM Heritage
The Association's awards program has evolved over time as a way to ensure that Manitoba's most worthy engineers and geoscientists are recognized for their contributions to our professions and society. Initially there was only a Merit Award category which began in the early 1960's. Subsequently two other recognition categories were created, Outstanding Service Awards and Honorary Life Membership.
- The Outstanding Service Award recognizes members who rendered outstanding service to or on behalf of the Association.
- The Honorary Life Membership category recognizes members who provided meritous service to the Association who are no longer practicing on a full time basis and preferably have been a continuous member for not less than 35 years and attained the age of 65.
In more recent years several additional awards categories have been created including;
- Team Achievement Award - This award recognizes groups who demonstrate excellence in, and major contributions to, the concept, design, and implementation of an engineering or geoscience work. If a large group is awarded, presentation may be made to the leading members of the group.
- Diversity Employer Award - This award is intended to recognize engineering and geoscience employers that have demonstrated, in action and spirit, support for recruiting, training, retaining, fostering respect for, and/or advancement of career opportunities for people defined within the "Diverse Employee Group". In celebrating these accomplishments, the award has the intended purpose of encouraging involvement of organizations in diversity-related activities, regardless of company size.
- Intern Award - In addition to recognizing exceptional achievement in a trainee, this award shows the public and fellow Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members what a professional engineer or geoscientist contributes to Canadian society.

- Judith Weiszmann Women in Engineering Champion Award - This award is intended to recognize female engineers who through engineering and career achievements have demonstrated the qualities that enabled Judith Weiszmann to be recognized as an outstanding engineer, role model, and influencer of the profession for the advancement and support of women in engineering.
- Leadership Award - This award recognizes outstanding achievement or influence towards major engineering or geoscientific works and developments undertaken for society's long-term benefit and/or quality of life. The individual is usually in an upper management, executive, or governance role.
