Cleven Awards
Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park Cleven Awards
This special Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park internal awards program was established in 2006 to recognize the outstanding contribution of club members who take on significant responsibilities and commitments in furthering the work of our club.
The award is named the “Cleven Award” in honor of and recognition of the first president of the Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park chartered as the Manchester Rotary Club in 1955. Harry Cleven was a very active Calgary community leader and a well-known and respected businessman. He was one of 62 people who were killed in the crash of a Trans Canada Airlines flight which crashed on Mount Slesse near Chilliwack on December 9, 1956. Harry made many positive contributions to the start-up and a strong foundation for our Rotary Club.
New recipients of this prestigious award are nominated by club members with a review by a committee, followed by our club Board of Director's support.
