Rogers Best Canadian Film Award

The Rogers Best Canadian Film Award is presented annually by the Toronto Film Critics Association to the film judged by the organization's members as the year's best Canadian film.[1] In 2012, the cash prize accompanying the award was increased to $100,000, making it the largest arts award in Canada. Each year, two runners-up also receive $5,000. The award is funded and presented by Rogers Communications, which is a founding sponsor of the association's awards gala.[2][3]

Unlike the other Toronto Film Critics Association awards, whose winners are announced in early December each year, the Best Canadian Film award only has its finalists announced at that time, and the winner of the award is then announced in a separate presentation in January of the following year.

gollark: You know what would be cool? Dynamically generate new API versions for no reason.
gollark: Well, yes, that's basically what I'm talking about - you can use genders to reference three or so at once.
gollark: Or to have a convenient short way to say "the noun I said 3rd most recently" or somethin.
gollark: Possibly more useful would be the ability to temporarily assign nouns to "variables" or something in a language, and then reference those in place of a noun.
gollark: no.
