Chuck Forster National President’s Award
The Chuck Forster Presidents Award is presented to all past National Presidents. It is also presented to worthy recipients who have demonstrated outstanding commitment and service to the collector car community. This is a separate and distinct award from the Hall of Fame Award.
Honor description: This award was developed in honor of the late Chuck Forster. It recognizes leadership in the antique and classic automobile and motorcycle community across Canada. Chuck Forster was the founder and first president of the Canadian Historic Automobile Federation(CHAF). This group became the newly named National Association of Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada Corporation under the aegis of the Craven Foundation. The NAAACCC ‘Vintage Canada’ publication, under the guidance of Peter Weatherhead, was the most significant Journal in Canada during the mid-1970s and early 1980s. In 2009 the National Association of Antique Automobile Clubs of Canada officially changed its name and dropped the word Antique. The National Association of Automobile Clubs of Canada now includes all vehicles including motorcycles 20 years old and older.
