From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Margaret Collier Award is the lifetime achievement honor presented the Gemini Awards to a writer for their outstanding body of work in Canadian television. It can be presented to an individual writer or writing team, however, this has only been presented once (to Wayne & Shuster).
