ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In communications products related to CAAP, each party shall ensure that the
CAAP recognition standard is applied and that all other parties to the CAAP agreement are identified equally.

Choosing Method of Federal Identification
There are three options of identifying federal government and industry council participation in a project. For CAAP communications products intended for the public, by either an eligible recipient or an industry council, option one will usually be the choice. The final decision will be made by AAFC communications experts with input from industry councils.

Option 1 (Preferred Option):      AAFC departmental signature shown as equal partner with the logo of ACS and the other partner(s), but not to show ownership or sponsorship. Either the single council or collective outcome attribution statement, found below, should be used in conjunction with the logos.

English

French

Option 2:      “Canada” wordmark is used instead of the AAFC departmental signature when a province/territory is also a project partner; an appropriate reference to AAFC (and other participating federal departments, if applicable) must be made in a text acknowledgement.

NOTE: All of the above logos can be downloaded from the ACS Website at www.agcouncil.ca/recognition. You may also contact ACS Communications Manager Dallas Carpenter at info@agcouncil.ca or 975-6856 if you would prefer to receive the logos by E-mail or would prefer a different format.

Option 3:     If no other logos are used on a product, then federal participation may be made by a credit line only.
