The Andrew Thompson Award was established in
2002 by West Coast Environmental Law (West Coast) and the Thompson family as a legacy to Dr.
Andrew Thompson, a ground-breaking BC environmental lawyer who was one of West Coast’s
first directors. The
Andrew Thompson Award honours individuals who have demonstrated an outstanding
contribution to environmental protection and sustainability in British Columbia
though the law.
In
recognition of West Coast’s 50th Anniversary, the theme of this
year’s Andrew Thompson Award will be “50 Years of Changemakers for
Environmental Justice”. To learn more about this year's award and criteria, see here.
Nominations must be submitted by October 15, 2024.
