Windsor is pleased to announce Windsor’s co-founder, the Honorable Hilary M. Weston was awarded for her distinguished contributions to the arts in Canada and the United States at the Council for Canadian American Relations (CCAR) Black-Tie Gala Dinner last Tuesday.

Fellow honorees included Frank Stella, American Master and one of the most inventive artists of the twentieth century, and CCAR’s Award of Service was presented to Norman Jewison, Canadian filmmaker.

“I was humbled to be honored alongside Frank Stella and Norman Jewison at the recent CCAR gala which marked the cornerstone celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canada in the United States,” said the Honorable Hilary M. Weston.

The CCAR was created in 1972 (originally as American Friends of Canada) at the instigation of the late philanthropist Bluma Appel, and through the guidance of David Rockefeller and the late Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The organization produces programs that showcase cross-border collaborations and honor cultural achievement.

As a result of the evening, CCAR provided cash grants to arts organizations selected by the evening’s honorees: the Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, MA; American Film Institute (AFI) Los Angeles, CA; Canadian Film Centre (CFC), Toronto, ON; Kenojuak Cultural Centre and Print Shop, Cape Dorset, NU. GALA 2017 marked the cornerstone celebration of the 150th anniversary of Canada in the United States.
