John T. Ryan Trophy

John T. Ryan Trophies are awards of excellence presented by Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) to a mine in a given category which experiences the lowest accident frequency during the previous year in all of Canada.

An award is also given out to the mine with the lowest accident frequency in each of the following regions:

• Quebec and East

The award is given by Mine Safety Appliances Company as a memorial to the founder John T. Ryan.[1][2]
