The Vicky Metcalf Award is awarded to a writer whose body of work has been "inspirational to Canadian youth." It is one of the top awards for Canadian children's writers. The award was named after Vicky Metcalf. The award has been presented annually since 1963.
In 2002, the award was suspended by the Canadian Authors Association, and taken over by the Writers' Trust of Canada.
