About the MTS
Allstream Luminaries program
The MTS Allstream Luminaries
program is part of our “Second
century of connecting Canadians” celebrations in 2008. For more information, please use
the links below:
Purpose
Over the course of our more than
100 years of connecting Canadians, MTS Allstream has produced
a tremendous number of innovations in Canadian telecom. And while
we are all proud of our positive impacts on business and lifestyles
in Canada, we also know that a major reason for our history of
accomplishment is the dedication of our employees.
The MTS Allstream Luminaries awards
single out current or former employees who have had a significant
impact on our Company’s
success, and who have inspired their colleagues to reach higher.
These awards were developed to recognize their efforts, and thank
them for their contribution.
Over the course of its history, MTS Allstream has had a large
number of outstanding employees who deserve to be recognized.
Valid nominees for the MTS Allstream Luminaries will receive
a special recognition gift; in addition, those who nominate the
winners will also receive a gift of thanks.
Nominations will be accepted until July
9, 2008, and the winners will be announced in mid-August.
MTS Allstream Luminaries will be publicly recognized and celebrated.
Recipients will receive a commemorative gift at a special Gala
event to take place at MTS Centre in Winnipeg in September
2008. MTS Allstream will pay for winners’ travel and
accommodation expenses for the Gala.

Eligibility
Any current or former employee
of MTS, Allstream or MTS Allstream, other than members of the
Executive Committee, is eligible to win the MTS Allstream Luminaries awards.
All current and former employees are also eligible to nominate
someone or support an existing nomination. Some notes on eligibility:
Nomination in more than one category
is permitted.
Team nominations are also allowed;
if a team wins an award, one member of that team will attend
the Gala to receive the honour on behalf of the team.
A winning nominee must be available
to speak with the selection committee, and be willing to have
their name publicized in connection with the award. In the case
of a former employee nominee who is deceased, the Selection Committee
will look to a family member for their permission. Nominees must
be in good standing in the community and be (or have been, in
the case of a former employee) in good standing with MTS Allstream.
If an MTS Allstream Luminaries
award is bestowed on a former employee who is deceased, a member
of that winner’s family will be invited to receive their
award at the September 2008 Gala.
There is no limit to the number
of times an employee can be nominated.

The selection process
Nominations will be accepted until
July 9, 2008; after that date, the Selection Committee will
review all entries.
As each entry is submitted, it
will be carefully reviewed to ensure it meets all award criteria,
that the nominee is in good standing in the community and with
MTS Allstream, and that the individual is willing to have his
or her name stand for nomination.
If all of these criteria are met, the nominee’s name and
a summary of their accomplishments, as well as a “Support” button
allowing website visitors to click to show their support, will
be posted on this website under the List of Nominees. Please
note that the number of supporters a nominee receives through
this website will be provided to the Selection Committee, but
will not be a formal part of the evaluation criteria for the
awards.
The MTS Allstream Second Century Steering Committee will then
review the entries, and select up to two winners in each category.
