About The General Sir Arthur Currie Award:
The General Sir Arthur Currie Award was initiated in 2006 to recognize Canadians who, by demonstrating leadership and determination, have made an outstanding contribution to Canadian military heritage and community. In 2014, Valour Canada commissioned Studio West to produce the award: a bronze statue of General Sir Arthur Currie upon his horse, Brock.
The 2025 event was highlighted by the presentation of the General Sir Arthur Currie Award to Mr. W. Brett Wilson.
