In 2002 the Province of British Columbia read into Legislation the College of Applied Biology Act. The Act, the first of its kind in North America, realized the vision of the early founders of the Association of Professional Biologists of British Columbia to have biologists recognized as professionals, on par with other groups such as foresters and engineers. Biologists also had the opportunity to continue their membership with the Association, which continued as a member advocacy organization. In 2012 the founding Executive Director of the College, Linda Michaluk, RPBio, retired. She was instrumental in the process that created the College. In recognition of her exemplary service to the profession, the College of Applied Biology Council made a decision to honour Linda’s work and commitment to this outstanding achievement through the creation of the Linda Michaluk Scholarship Fund (LMSF) held at the Victoria Foundation.
Linda’s efforts in the design and enactment of the College of Applied Biology Act is being honoured through the establishment of this fund which will award scholarships for individuals undertaking a postgraduate program of study focusing on administrative policy and procedures at the provincial, national and international levels in Biological and Natural Resources disciplines.
