The 17th Canadian Film Awards were held on May 15, 1965 to honour achievements in Canadian film.
Entries this year numbered 104, including four features. Interest in the event, which was hosted by radio personality Max Ferguson, was such that an overflow crowd had to spill into the Hot Stove Club at Maple Leaf Gardens, where they viewed the ceremony on closed-circuit television.
The entire Canadian film industry was presented with a special medal to commemorate International Co-Operation Year (ICY),[1] a celebratory designation by the United Nations to direct attention to the common interest and purpose of humanity in achieving peace and human dignity. Dr. J. Roby Kidd,[2] founding director of the CFA and head of ICY Canada, presented the medal to cinematographer Roy Tash, who accepted it on behalf of the industry.[3]
