Background
At the January 2008 Board of Directors meeting, a motion was passed to rename the PHE Canada Young Professional Award the Dr. Andy Anderson Young Professional Award.
Andy was an incredible leader and had an enormous impact on the field of health and physical education. Throughout his career, he nurtured many leaders who continue to serve as champions and carry on his legacy in our profession today. The Dr. Andy Anderson Young Professional Award will help to further recognize his significant contribution to the field.
