Submissions Invited for 2012 APEGBC Environmental and Sustainability Awards
Nominations are now being accepted for APEGBC's Environmental Awards and Sustainability Award.
Environmental Awards
APEGBC's Environment Committee encourages submissions for the Environmental Awards, which highlight the role of professional engineers and geoscientists in responsible environmental management. Awards are offered in two categories:
1) Concept and Assessment; and
2) Design, Construction and Monitoring.
Full details on the submission process and awards criteria for the Environmental Awards can be found in the Submission Rules and Judging Criteria at www.apeg.bc.ca/services/awards/ environmentawards.html.
Sustainability Award
From innovative processes that do more with less to adaptive measures to address an uncertain climate future, APEGBC engineers and geoscientists practice at the leading edge of sustainability.
APEGBC recognizes these leaders through the annual Sustainability Award as a means to celebrate and share the positive contributions to a sustainable future. The award is open to any project that has demonstrated a commitment to, and understanding of, the concept of sustainability and/or has applied one or more of the Sustainability Guidelines.
The Sustainability Committee welcomes diverse nominations from sustainable projects both large and small.
Full details on the submission process and awards criteria for the Sustainability Award are available here: www.apeg.bc.ca/about/sustainability/award.html.
The winning submissions will receive their awards at APEGBC's 2012 Annual Conference, to be held October 25-27 in Victoria, BC and will be highlighted in a video profile.
The deadline for initial 500-word nominations is March 2, 2012.
