APECS Canada, along with the ArcticNet Student Association coordinated the adjudication and virtual presentation of the 2020 APECS Canada-ASA Mentor Award. This award is presented annually at the ArcticNet ASM banquet to an individual who has contributed significantly to the fostering and mentoring of polar early career researchers in Canada. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, this award was presented virtually for the first time. This year, five excellent nomination packages were put forth by polar ECRs across the country. The award was presented to Dr. LeeAnn Fishback from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre for her work in mentoring and supporting ECRs in their scientific research around Churchill, MB as well as her commitment to education and outreach in her community.
