Executive Director of the Invasive Species Council of BC, Gail Wallin of Williams Lake, was honoured recently in our Nation’s Capital.
On Thursday night (November 16) she was in Ottawa to accept the Nature Inspiration Award for 2023 given by the Canadian Museum of Nature.
“This is an award for the team. Success doesn’t depend on one person.” Wallin said in a release, “It requires a team of people working together to make a positive change. Invasive Species Council of BC is honoured to attract and grow an amazing team. I am honoured to represent the Council, the staff, the board and many volunteers who have made a difference, raising awareness around the urgent topic of invasive species.”
The Nature Inspiration Award celebrates the leadership of adults, youth, not for profits, and businesses connecting Canadians with nature and setting examples for a sustainable future.
Wallin has been involved with the Invasive Species Council of BC since its inception in 2004 and today it’s the largest invasive species organization in Canada.
Wallin is also Chair of the Canadian Council on Invasive Species.
