Ottawa – City Councillor Maria McRae, Chair of the City’s Environment Committee, and City Manager Kent Kirkpatrick today announced the winners of the 2014 Environmental Excellence Awards (EEA) during a special presentation at the City’s Environment Committee. The annual ceremony honours the innovation and leadership of City employees involved in a wide range of environmental initiatives.
The award recognizes recipients in two categories: initiatives that minimize environmental impacts across the wider community, and those that reduce the City’s corporate environmental footprint.
A special lifetime achievement award was presented to Paul McCann of the City’s Public Works department for a career committed to environmental sustainability. Over his 30-year career, Paul has demonstrated a personal commitment to environmental excellence in all of the projects he has been involved with, including the Cleaning the Capital program, litter and graffiti programs, Adopt-A-Park/Roadway and the Green Bin program.
“Ottawa is a green city and is highly respected for its commitment to environmental initiatives,” said Councillor McRae. “My gratitude and appreciation on behalf of City Council and all residents of Ottawa go to these City employees who are leaders in carrying out these initiatives.”
The community category winner was:
The internal category winner was:
“The Environmental Excellence Awards provide an opportunity to honour the valuable and innovative work being done every year by City staff,” said City Manager Kent Kirkpatrick. “This year, however, we are also pleased to offer a special lifetime achievement award to recognize the long-term commitment of individuals to building an environmentally sustainable city.”
This year’s winners were chosen from a total of 12 nominated projects that featured the work of 89 employees.

The community category winner was:
- Ring and Post Bicycle Rack Program Team. City employees re-purposed on-street parking meter posts into bike racks when the meters were removed in 2010. The project diverted tons of materials from the waste stream and increased bike parking.
The internal category winner was:
- Upgrades to the claims and insurance software, RiskMaster Accelerator. The upgrade is a significant step toward a paperless system for the City’s Legal Services Branch and Claims Unit.
“The Environmental Excellence Awards provide an opportunity to honour the valuable and innovative work being done every year by City staff,” said City Manager Kent Kirkpatrick. “This year, however, we are also pleased to offer a special lifetime achievement award to recognize the long-term commitment of individuals to building an environmentally sustainable city.”
