The Broadbent Institute celebrates the achievements of progressive movements and social democratic ideas through three annual awards: The Jack Layton Progress Prize, The Charles Taylor Prize for Excellence in Policy Research, and The Ellen Meiksins Wood Prize & Lecture.
The recipients of the three awards are announced annually at the Broadbent Institute’s spring Progress Summit in Ottawa, with the recipient of the Ellen Meiksins Wood Prize delivering the Lecture later on that year at Toronto Metropolitan University.
The Layton and Taylor Prizes take on open nominations from the public, and a shortlist is announced before the Progress Summit. The Broadbent Institute Awards Committee selects the recipients of the awards, to be announced and delivered at the Summit. The Ellen Meiksins Wood Prize is nominated and selected internally by the Awards Committee.
