Lydiatt Award
The William & Margaret Lydiatt Award recognizes a student from a participating College who has demonstrated exceptional spirit in the weeks leading up to the OCMC. 
Prior to the competition, each college should select a recipient of the Award. Determination of the recipient might include the following:
- A student who supports others on the team and works exceptionally hard.
- A student who puts the value and spirit of the competition by supporting others on the team, working hard and fostering growth in others.
- A student who demonstrates commitment to the OCMC by such actions as recruiting others, working to promote or raise funds for the team or other actions.
- A student who has overcome extraordinary adversity to get to the competition and who, by their example, inspires others.
Each College should notify David Nowell at Sheridan College of their nomination selection by sending the form by e-mail to david.nowell@sheridanc.on.ca no later than Thursday November 12, 2009. Those who do not submit a selection by that date will not be acknowledged at the event. The recipient will be called to the stage during the awards banquet to receive a specially-designed trophy which they will keep for one year.
Previous Lydiatt Award Winners
In 2008, a very active Algonquin Student, Sarah Ormon, got the nod for her diligence in supporting her team, raising funds, managing a Web site, arranging team meetings and a whole lot more. Judges were unanimous and were especially impressed with how she had motivated others.
In 2007, all colleges were invited to send outstanding contributors for consideration for the award. The winner was Victoria George of Seneca, who was in three events, coached, supported and recruited others, volunteered for 20 hours a week and... had a four-year-old child! Amazing, and understandably the unanimous pick of the judges.
For 2006, the winner was Chantelle Simard, whose Sheridan team-mates found her to be incredibly supportive of them. She also was a last-minute replacement for one event and gave extra effort to do well in it.
