The True Sport Foundation announces its call for nominations for the 37th Canadian Sport Awards (CSA). Canada's definitive recognition event for sport will award excellence, athletics, commitment and leadership in sport during the 2009 calendar year.

The nomination period begins today and closes on Friday, January 15, 2010.

Official nomination forms can be downloaded from www.canadiansportawards.ca for:

• Junior Athlete of the Year
• Corporate Excellence Award
• Leadership in Sport Award
• Volunteer Achievement Award
• Athlete Leadership Award
• (the popular) Spirit of Sport Story of the Year

The Athlete Performance Awards (Male/Female, Team and Partners of the Year) will be seeded by the Top-8 results published by Sport Canada.

"Canada's official awards event for amateur competitors, sport leaders and inspiring stories has recognized athletes, teams, leaders and businesses for more than three decades," said Victor Lachance, Executive Director of the True Sport Foundation. "We encourage Canadian sport organizations, media and the general public to nominate their sporting heroes for their passion, expertise and contribution to Canadian sport," said Mr. Lachance.

Finalists for each CSA award will be announced on February 3, 2010. Winners will be announced and awarded at the official gala awards ceremony in Toronto, Ontario early March 2010.

Established in 1972, the Canadian Sport Awards brings together leaders from the sporting and corporate communities who represent the pinnacle of commitment and competition: Canadian amateur athletes, coaches, sport leaders and volunteers. The annual event promotes sporting excellence across Canada, and reminds Canadians how sport lifts the human spirit. It is a tribute to the hard work, the dedication and the victories of our country's finest athletes.
