Quotes

“It’s an amazing feeling [to have won]. We’ve worked so hard on our campaign, and to be recognized with a Gold Award from the CPRS National Awards is truly a wonderful tribute.”

Krys Potapczyk, APR, Assistant Director Drinking Water Programs Branch, Ontario Ministry of the Environment

“We received many submissions this year and are pleased to award a select few with a Gold Award of Excellence. These award-winning campaigns are excellent examples of well planned and well executed public relations initiatives. The videos during the Awards of Excellence Gala and Dinner were a nice way to give all attendees the background of the award-winning public relations campaigns.”

Pierrette Leonard APR, FCPRS, National President, CPRS
