TORONTO — The Clean50 program has announced it is accepting nominations for its 2020 awards program.
The program, which honours individuals and projects that have contributed to the fight against climate change, recognizes 50 winners each September.
The program’s website said projects are selected that reflect three I’s —“they are Innovative, they can Inform, and they can Inspire other Canadians to do more.”
The awards honour Canada’s leaders in sustainability for their contributions over the prior two years. Nominations are collected until Canada Day each year, reviewed and then honourees for three different types of awards are announced each September.
Recent winners in the project category have included the race2reduce program from BOMA Toronto and Toronto Hydro; the City of London’s Water Engineering project, Using AI to Identify Leaking Watermains, Daniel Hsia, City of London water demand manager, project lead; and the Ecology Action Centre’s Deep Energy Retrofit program, Maggy Burns, managing director.
Individual winners in the Building — Design, Development and Management category from last year were Lisa Bate, regional managing principal, North America and chair, World GBC, B+H Architects; Mikele Brack, founder and CEO, Urban Living Futures Inc.; Gord Hicks, CEO of BGIS and founder of the Building Energy Innovators Council; and Dave Ramslie, vice-president, sustainability, Concert Properties.
There is also an awards category for Clean50 Emerging Leaders, selected “from among those under age 35 whose contribution is outsized compared to their age,” and otherwise based on the same criteria as the Individual Clean50 awards.
