The Donner Prize
The Award for the best book on Canadian Public Policy

This year, The Donner Canadian Foundation proudly celebrates the tenth anniversary of the Donner Prize, which annually rewards excellence and innovation in Canadian public policy writing.

Over the first nine years of the Prize, the Donner Jury has read close to 600 books and has awarded $410,000 in prize money to the finest writers on Canadian public policy.

The aim of this award is to inspire lively debate on public policy issues and to reward provocative and excellent work that speaks to an informed readership.

The $35,000 Donner Prize will be awarded to the author of the most outstanding and innovative book on Canadian public policy, with $5,000 awarded to each of the other shortlisted titles.

We would like to thank the following for their generous sponsorship of the 2007/2008 Donner Prize Award ceremony
