Each year, around national public service week, I award a trophy. This is a story about that trophy and of the public servant, after whom, the trophy is named. It’s also a way to recognize the excellent work of many public servants such Evelyne -this year’s winner. #NPSW 
The trophy is named after Trong Nguyen. Trong was a senior policy analyst who had most of his career at Health Canada/PHAC before going to work for my friend @AM_Hume at CBSA. Tragically at that time he died along with his two year old daughter Naomi, in a highway accident.
Trong was also my roommate, best man, best friend and I wanted to find a way to honour him. I was a DG at PHAC and as a new agency we were setting up an awards and recognition system. One of these awards was for policy and I thought it should be named after him.
Happy #NPSW to all my #GC colleagues who are working hard each and every day to make a difference in the lives of Canadians! #Canada wouldn't be the same without your contributions or stories!
