the MariAn McGee award

We are always looking for members to submit a turning as part of the Marian McGee Award and Challenge.  Our 2026 selection will be taking place at our next meeting on Tuesday, 9 June 2026.  The 2025 entries were judged at our June 2025 meeting and the winning submission was presented to Aude Laguens, the top student at the University of Ottawa's School of Nursing.  Congratulations, Aude!  The winning submission was created by Roger Mattiuz.   Aude, Roger, and his creation are pictured below.
