QUEST Canada’s Tonja Leach Awarded a 2024 Canada’s Clean50 Award
September 28, 2023 – Today, we are pleased to announce that QUEST Canada’s Executive Director, Tonja Leach, has been presented a 2024 Canada’s Clean50 Award. The award recognizes leaders from across Canada who have advanced climate action and developed climate solutions.
Clean50 describes awardees as forward-looking leaders representing the most effective and progressive organizations taking on climate change from every sector, balancing mitigation with adaptation.
Tonja Leach will be amongst approximately 130 past and incoming Clean50 honourees meeting on Thursday, September 28th at the “Clean50 Summit 13.0” in Toronto, to spend a day amongst peers and colleagues, tackling critical sustainability challenges facing Canada.
“Canada’s Clean50 Awards are announced annually by Delta Management Group and the Clean50 organization to recognize those 50 individuals or small teams, from 16 different categories, who have done the most to advance the cause of sustainability. Tonja Leach was chosen after rigorous screening and research by Delta Management, with advice from internal researchers and external advisors, and was among Honourees selected from an initial pool of well over 1,000 well qualified nominees.”
“I am humbled to be amongst so many incredible Clean50 awardees who are leading the way to a more sustainable, low carbon future. Receiving a Clean50 Award, in the Cities category, is a true testament to QUEST Canada’s mission to help communities in Canada establish coordinated local action on energy and emissions. I’m delighted and honoured to be leading a team that’s scaling positive impact by providing climate and energy guidance to hundreds of municipalities, communities, and stakeholders across the country.”
