PR Awards

May 10, 1997

Two Gold Awards were won by Janice Nathanson of Manifest Communications, at the 1997 CPRS (Toronto) Awards of Excellence and Volunteer Awards. She won in the print category for "Social Marketing for Business" and in the external communications category for "Community Co-operation for Change."

Sources, as sponsor of the print category award, was particularly proud of Janice's accomplishment. Twelve recipients were honoured at an exceptionally well-run awards evening.

The only other Gold Award went to Dawn McDowell of Howe & Company, CIBC Wood Gundy for "1996 Children's Miracle." Brigid O'Reilly was honoured with the Public Relations Community Service Award.

The evening's theme was "Achieving the Winning Mind Set." The topic was given substance by sports coach and guest speaker Andy Higgins. A mark of successful people, he said, is that they possess "a powerfully-clear vision of what they want to achieve." Another is that they "see options in every situation." They are "very aware of what is going on," and "exercise small acts of self discipline over time." Each of us cannot win in a given competition, Higgins noted, but each of us can succeed, by improving on our own past performance.
