RIMS Ontario Chapter presented the 2015 Donald M. Stuart Award to Tino Brambilla, Manager, Insurance Service at Manitoba Hydro. The award, widely recognized as Canada's highest honor within the risk management field, was presented at the 2015 RIMS Canada Conference in September. Starting in 1979, the annual award is presented to celebrate Canadians who have made outstanding contributions in the risk management profession.
"Organizations are leaning on their risk professionals more today than ever before," said Paul Provis, President of ORIMS. "In spite of their expanding responsibilities within their organizations, there is a select group of risk professionals who routinely go above and beyond to ensure that this profession continues to thrive. Not only is Tino Brambilla a highly accomplished practitioner, but he has never lost sight of the value he can add by supporting his fellow risk professionals. RIMS Ontario Chapter is proud to present this year's Donald M. Stuart Award to this truly deserving individual."
About Brambilla
Brambilla joined Centra Gas Manitoba (Westcoast Energy) in 1997, and helped to consolidate the organization's insurance and risk management programs when it merged with Manitoba Hydro and, again, when Winnipeg Hydro was purchased. He has led the Insurance Services team at Manitoba Hydro since 1999, and is an active member of the Manitoba Hydro Corporate ERM Steering Committee and Natural Gas Emergency Response Steering Committee.
"Since I began in the profession, risk management and the risks our organizations face have certainly evolved," said Mr. Brambilla. "One of the greatest assets risk professionals have is each other. Sharing ideas and experiences is so critical to what we do and it has been rewarding to give back to the profession throughout my career. It is an honour to be presented this highest award from my peers."

He has held several Society positions, including chapter delegate, treasurer and chair of the RIMS Canada Council.
