Ontario Goods Roads Association Custom Awards

Bennett Awards designed and produced a unique custom awards design for Ontario Goods Roads Association. (OGRA). These custom awards are used for recognition awards that are presented on an annual basis. These unique custom awards are called the Elaine Robinson Volunteer of the Year Awards. The unique awards are presented to a current and active volunteer who has served a minimum of 5 years as an active volunteer, and is a dedicated supporter of OGRA and its mandates. The recognition awards are named in memory of long-time OGRA employee Elaine Robinson, who worked with hundreds of OGRA volunteers. These custom awards are presented annually at the OGRA Awards Luncheon, which he held during their annual conference. At this awards presentation, OGRA presents numerous recognition awards for excellence in service.

The unique custom awards design was created by Bennett Awards, and features an impressionistic, flowing design based on the OGRA logo, which, in turn, is an impressionistic representation of a highway. The unique awards are produced in pewter, and feature a brushed pewter finish. The recognition awards are mounted on a black marble base which is engraved with the name of the award and recipient.

As one of Canada’s largest municipal associations, OGRA represents the transportation and public works-related concerns of 444 municipalities and many First Nation communities of Ontario. For over 100 years, OGRA has aided municipalities in their efforts to provide efficient and effective transportation systems.
