Wayne Digby Sustainable Energy Award

The Wayne Digby Sustainable Energy Award is dedicated to the advancement of students in grades 11 and 12 that are intending to pursue post-secondary education in the environmental science field. This includes studies in electrical or solar education, as well as other forms of post-secondary education in the environmental science field.
