Best of Canada 2011 Natural Health Awards
Honouring the best of Canada's Complementary & Alternative
health care practitioners, products, and personalities

Nominations are open for the 2011 Best of Canada Natural Health Awards. Voting runs from November 7 to December 4th. Click here to view the current list of nominees or to nominate someone.

Our goal for the Awards was to create a forum for sharing your favourites with friends, family, and the community at large, rather than simply a competition of who could drive the most voters to their profile. So this year, we are making a few changes, including starting the voting period closer to the end of the year so it is more of a Year in Review process.

Changes in categories

Some categories will disappear and new one are being added. The most notable addition is the new My Favourite Find of the Year - which spans the other categories, including both products and therapies. This category will not simply come down to one winner, instead, we are creating a list of the top ten "finds" that we will then write up and share with other media.

Changes in rules

We're also instituting a new rule: in order for there to be a declared "winner" for a category, there must be at least five (5) nominees with a minimum of twenty-five (25) votes spread across the category. The purpose of this rule is to return the focus to sharing even within the framework of competition - voters will be more inclined to let other potential participants know -- plus it was awkward to declare "winners" in smaller towns where there were really only one or two possible participants.
