In October, James Maxwell and Denis St-Onge received The Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s Camsell Award, in recognition of outstanding service. St-Onge became president in 1992, the year the prize was first awarded. He was also crucial in the development of géographica, the Society’s French-language magazine. As executive director in the 1990s, Maxwell helped establish the Canadian Council for Geographic Education.
