Full Description
The Symons Medal: Twenty Years of Reflection on an Evolving Canada describes the origin and purpose of The Symons Medal since its inception in 2004, presenting biographical information, relevant quotations and photographs of the medal's 27 recipients. The medal is awarded each year by the Confederation Centre of the Arts to recognize and honour Canadians who have made special and outstanding contributions to life in Canada.
