The award was presented at the Northern BC Business and Technology Awards & Dinner held January 9, 2013, in conjunction with the BC Natural Resource Forum. The award is in recognition of PRT’s boiler / biomass project which include a heating system and short rotation woody crop feed stock plantation at its Red Rock nursery.
The John Humphrey’s Memorial Forest Innovator Award is presented to a business or organization that has developed a leading edge wood product, forest management or production technology to enhance Northern BC forest production or sustainability. It distinguishes the recipient as a role model for other entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations and for their leadership in their field.
Rob Miller, President and CEO commented, “We are very pleased that the merits of this technology are being acknowledged by the industry and we congratulate our staff at PRT Red Rock for their accomplishments.”
