ESBC Legacy Award

The Entomological Society of British Columbia has initiated a new award, the Entomological Society of British Columbia Legacy Award, to recognize B.C. entomologists that have made outstanding contributions to their discipline of entomology throughout their career. This award will be awarded to an individual in recognition of their significant contributions in research, mentoring, teaching, extension, innovation, pest management and active volunteer involvement in the ESBC and other societies/organizations in B.C. and beyond.

New Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Award

  • awards

At the ESBC we believe that all should be welcome and included in the entomological community. Sadly, in entomology, and STEM in general, this is not the case. As one step we are taking forward, the ESBC is pleased to announce our new Equity Diversity and Inclusion Award. We hope this award will help reduce some of the barriers faced by those historically excluded from entomology. Please apply!
