CIQS Frank Helyar and Buster Vermeulen Memorial Awards
In 1990, CIQS Council created the Frank Helyar Award Fund when Frank generously returned his honorarium for setting and marking examinations to the Institute requesting that it be put towards ‘education.’ Initially the award was given for the highest mark in Subject # 202 Measurement of Construction Works II and # 302 Measurement of Construction Works Practical. The award is now given to the candidate with the highest mark (above 75%) in Subject # 302 Measurement of Construction Works Practical each year. In 2001, the award was renamed the ‘Frank Helyar Memorial Award Fund’ on the death of Past President and Founding Member Frank Helyar.
In 2003, a second award was created in memory of CIQS Past President, Buster Vermeulen. This award was named the ‘Buster Vermeulen Memorial Award’ and is given to the candidate with the highest mark (above 75%) in Subject # 308 Cost Planning.
We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2014 Awards. Both recipients hail from Calgary, Alberta. Congratulations to Cameron Pole, CEC who won the 2014 Buster Vermeulen Memorial Award and congratulations to Andrew Maxwell who won the 2014 Frank Helyar Memorial Award. Cameron works for Aquarius Building Consultants and Andrew is with Cuthbert Smith Group. Chair, Dave Burns, was on hand to present Cameron and Andrew with their awards.
The award continues to grow due to the generosity of Designation Holders’ donations.
