Nominate the next Hall Laureate

The Hall Laureate is recognized each year for longstanding contributions to health systems and policy in Canada. The award honours the vision of Justice Emmett Hall, whose ideals of equity, fairness, justice, and efficiency helped shape the foundations of Medicare. The Hall Laureate delivers the annual Justice Emmett Hall Memorial Lecture at the Canadian Association for Health Services and Policy Research (CAHSPR) conference, a high-profile plenary that engages the health services and policy community nationwide.

The Hall Laureate receives a $5,000 award and travel support to attend the CAHSPR conference.

Nominations are assessed on the following:

Commitment to Hall’s ideals and the principles of Canada’s public health insurance system.
Record of achievement and recognition in scholarship, leadership, or public service.
Ability to deliver a compelling lecture to a diverse health systems audience.

Nominators should be prepared to provide their own contact information, the nominee’s contact information, and a short rationale describing how the nominee meets the criteria above.

The Hall Foundation accepts nominations year-round, however, only nominations received on or before November 15 each year are considered for the selection of the following year’s Hall Laureate. All nominations remain eligible for three years.
