Each of us has observed exceptional professionalism and community contribution by co-workers who deserve special recognition. We rarely have an opportunity to celebrate these special people beyond their workplace. The John Dunlop Award provides an ideal opportunity to do so within the overall Nova Scotia criminal justice environment.

Given the unique challenges that are inherent in Justice work, please take time to reflect and consider the special contribution of one of your own colleagues.

Sincerely,

Fred Honsberger
Past President, Nova Scotia Criminal Justice Association
Chair, John Dunlop Memorial Award Committee
