FSCNS Scot of the Year

Nomination Process for 2010 SOTY Award
The FSCNS is now accepting nominations for the 2010 FSCNS Scot of the Year. We strongly urge all Member Clans, Member Societies, and Individual Members of the Federation to propose a candidate (or candidates) from within their rolls. Since its inception in 2004, the Federation has received numerous nominations, all of whom were well qualified for this honour. Each and every nomination package receives much careful consideration, and the winner is determined by secret ballot of the Selection Committee.
The more detailed the nomination package is, the better prepared the Selection Committee will be to make an informed decision. There is no time limit on noteworthy achievements in the nomination package: all nominees will be considered for their overall contribution to Scottish culture. As well, the Committee welcomes re-submissions from nominees who were not selected previously.
Do you know a special individual who lives the values of the Scottish Community or someone whose hard work and dedication to promoting Nova Scotia Scottish heritage are without equal? If so, then make sure the rest of the province's Scottish Community is aware of their good works.
Nominations must be received no later than 15 October 2009 in order to receive consideration.
Printed submissions should be mailed:
2010 Scot of the Year
Federation of Scottish Clans in Nova Scotia
PO Box 477
Lower Sackville NS B4C 3G4
Please email e-copy submissions to: twallace@scotsns.ca
The Scot of the Year award recipient is typically announced at the Federation's Annual General Meeting.

The Executive and Council of The Federation of Scottish Clans was very pleased to announce that James "Jim" K. MacLean of Pictou has been named the FSCNS "2008 Scot of the Year."
Jim was a founding member of the Scottish Societies and Associations, the precursor to the FSCNS, and is an active supporter of Federation and Clan MacLean initiatives. The SOTY Trophy, the Federation's highest honour, was presented at the St. Andrew's Day Brunch on Sunday, 16 November 2008, at St. Andrew's Community Hall, Antigonish Co.
Annually, the SOTY Award is selected by a special committee of the Federation. Nominations are submitted by the FSCNS membership at large (clans, societies, and individual members).
