NOTE TO 2009 NOMINEES: All complete 2009/10 nomination packages may be applicable to the 2010/11 call for nominations, at the request of the candidate. Changes to the program have been made for the 2010/11 fellowship year. See Program Description. Once you have reviewed the new program description, should you wish your 2009/10 nomination package to be considered this year, please send a cover letter to Action Canada, together with a revised 500-word statement on the modified 2010/11 fellowship year theme.
