Canadian female mathematicians. In particular, they target current PhD students and new postdoctoral fellows seeking guidance in their field. The conference strives to strengthen the community between young female mathematicians and their senior counterparts through the building of mentorship, relationships, and networking. Competitions Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge The CMS administers the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge, a problem solving competition targeted at Canadian high school students, which is modelled after the analogous William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition for undergraduates. High-scoring students may be invited to compete in the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad, a problem-solving and mathematics competition run by the CMS which is also used as a screening process for the selection of the Canadian team for the International Mathematical Olympiad. Canadian Mathematical Gray Jay Competition Canadian Mathematical Olympiad Canadian Junior Mathematical Olympiad Outreach CMS runs several annual summer math camps across Canada to foster interest and excitement in elementary-school and secondary-school aged students. Some CMS math camps, are based on invitation and are targeted at high-potential students from all backgrounds, and others are open to all students with interest in mathematics. The CMS also runs several smaller specialty camps targeted at visible minorities and under-represented groups in the mathematical community. Many member organizations also run outreach events to attract local talent to mathematics, such as Math Challenge programs held at the local university, Math Enrichment Centres, and educational events throughout the academic year. Awards The CMS annually awards the following prizes: Jeffery–Williams Prize to recognize mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. Adrien Pouliot Award for contributions to mathematical education in Canada. David Borwein Distinguished Career Award to recognize individuals who have made exceptional, broad, and continued contributions to Canadian mathematics. Graham Wright Award for Distinguished Service recognizes individuals who have made sustained and significant contributions to the Canadian mathematical community and, in particular, to the Canadian Mathematical Society. Excellence in Teaching Award recognizes sustained and distinguished contributions in teaching at the post-secondary undergraduate level. G. de B. Robinson Award to recognize the publication of excellent papers in Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin CMS Blair Spearman Doctoral Prize to recognize outstanding performance by a doctoral student. Krieger–Nelson Prize is presented in recognition of an outstanding female in mathematics. Coxeter–James Prize to recognize young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. Cathleen Synge Morawetz Prize to recognize an outstanding research publication or series of
