Past Award Recipients

Eligibility

The AIRA will continue to be awarded to an individual who has proven that, their contributions are contributing to a community that is free from discrimination. The aim of this award is to allow for allyship to be strengthened and to act as an invitation into the dialogue of how we can remove barriers that limit access to equality. Two awards are to be given annually, one to a Staff or Faculty member, and another to a current Brock Student.

The award will be given on International Day of Persons with Disabilities which occurs every year on December 3. Below are the nomination requirements.
