The entire Canadian film industry was presented with a special medal to commemorate International Co-Operation Year (ICY),[1] a celebratory designation by the United Nations to direct attention to the common interest and purpose of humanity in achieving peace and human dignity. Dr. J. Roby Kidd,[2] founding director of the CFA and head of ICY Canada, presented the medal to cinematographer Roy Tash, who accepted it on behalf of the industry.[3]
