Dietitians of Canada Prize in Dietetics

Award descriptionA $800 prize has been endowed by the Dietitians of Canada, which was the professional association for dietitians in B.C. from 1956 to 1997. Dietitians of Canada assumed the role of promoting and supporting the profession in 1997, while the BCDNA focused on the regulation of the profession until 2004, when these duties were transferred to the College of Dietitians of B.C. and the BCDNA was dissolved. The prize is awarded to a student in the graduating year who has taken a dietetics major, has high academic standing, and has shown potential for success. Candidates should indicate an intention of continued practice in the field of dietetics. The award is made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Land and Food Systems.
