The Athlete of the Month Award is presented for outstanding performance in a month. Nominations may be made by provincial sport organizations, the media or the public.
All nominations are subject to approval by the provincial sport organization.
The award is open to teams and individuals who perform solo or on a team. Recipients may not win more than once every calendar year. This includes all-star teams and contingents competing in individual disciplines in which there is a recognized team award. Athletes who live temporarily in other locations for educational or training purposes are also eligible as are athletes who are originally from other provinces. The award winner is announced through a media release and all nominees receive a certificate of achievement.
