Since no one else has commented on the Jake Gaudar Veterans Award 2017 nominees, I'll paste the info on the Argos' nominee, Jamal Campbell. The award is given " to a Canadian CFL player who best demonstrates the attributes of Canada's veterans: strength, perseverance, courage, comradeship and contribution to Canadian communities". It's good to see that the Argos' community program is not only supporting the community, but generating players who themselves are carrying on this tradition. I think Jamal is a great nominee. Good on him for taking on this role so early in his career.
The other team's nominees can be found at the website below.

Living proof of the impact of CFL community programs, Jamal Campbell had never played football until Grade 10, when the Argos brought their “Level the Playing Field” program to his school. Campbell is now dedicated to giving back to his neighbourhood and supporting young people, working with the Boys and Girls club in North York and local programs for disadvantaged youth. With the Argos, Campbell has taken the time to learn multiple offensive line positions to put the team in a better position to succeed while reaching out to help American teammates feel at home and help his teammates prepare for games. Campbell is also a recipient of a Toronto Urban Hero Award in the Sports category for his outstanding work to help others in his neighbourhood.
