Awards
The Sonography Canada Awards Program recognizes and celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to the profession of sonography or to the association. Each year, members can apply for bursaries or nominate peers, mentors or colleagues to have the outstanding achievements of sonographers across the country recognized.
Our awards recognize the various roles and accomplishments sonographers can have in their careers starting as students, then as mentors, educators or colleagues.
