Bernie Pauly Receives 2016 BC Community Achievement Award and Island Health Research Scholar in Residence Award

At a ceremony at Government House on June 3rd, Dr. Pauly was presented with the prestigious 2016 BC Community Achievement Award. 

Earlier in the year, Island Health also honoured her with their Island Health Research Scholar in Residence Award, which formally initiated a collaboration between Island Health and herself to further the Health Authority's efforts to reduce health inequities and reduce the harms of substance use amongst homeless populations.

More details about both awards are available here.

Congratulations Bernie!
