The 14th Canadian Film Awards were held on May 26, 1962 to honour achievements in Canadian film. The ceremony was hosted by Andrew Stewart, Chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors.
For this year's awards, there were 137 entries from 39 producers, with the greatest increase in the Training and Instruction category. The roster of 55 judges in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa was maintained. Also ongoing was the stream of memos and letters to the CFA suggesting that it change its categories, judging criteria and, most significantly, its position that films not be judged on their quality, but on whether or not they achieved their stated purpose. CFA management discussed all suggestions but maintained its position.[1]
