Biography (BLP?) of a former chief executive of the Canadian chapter of an international organization, not reliably sourced as passing our notability standards for organizational chief executives. Winning the organization's own internal awards for its own internal work is not a notability freebie if your only source is the organization's own self-published content about itself -- the extent to which any award counts as a notability-maker for Wikipedia purposes hinges on the extent to which that award does or doesn't get media coverage to establish its significance, and simply using primary sources to verify the award isn't enough. But there are no other sources being cited here at all, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any independent or reliable sources.
