Purvis Memorial Award
Purvis Memorial Award – Established 1947
Recipients of the Purvis Memorial Award are men and women who have made a major contribution to the development and implementation of particular and distinctive strategies. These strategies must have resulted in the strengthening of Canadian industry or academic or research institutions in the field of chemistry. Naturally, in today's diversified and complex industrial environment, this definition of 'chemical industry' embraces not only traditional chemical companies focusing on chemical manufacture and distribution, but also industries such as coatings, crop protection, environmental services, food, pharmaceuticals, plastics, synthetic fibres and pulp and paper.
