Past Awards
The inaugural BC Embodied Carbon Awards, hosted by the CLF British Columbia took place on Mar 30, 2023.
A capacity crowd, in excess of 100, packed into the events lounge of Steamworks Brewpub, Water Street, Vancouver. The awards were introduced Dr Peter Robinson, Chair, Metro Vancouver ZEIC, alongside City of Vancouver Councillor Adriane Carr, also a ZEIC board member.
The awards were presented by MLA: Hon. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (Vancouver – Fairview) and Caroline Butchart, CLF BC.
Over 25 organizations sent in entries, with the awards split into five categories, each with buildings located in Vancouver and in the wider province.
