NSERC National Award for Science Promotion

Congratulations to Jolie Mayer-Smith and Linda Peterat, co-founders of the Intergenerational Landed Learning project at the UBC farm on winning the highly prestigious NSERC National Award for Science Promotion. The ceremony and celebration was held on Thursday June 12 at Edith Cavell School in Vancouver. Typically, these awards have gone to members of Science and Engineering faculties in the past. This award represents a groundbreaking event in that it is the first time one has been given to faculty members in a Curriculum Department.
