The PEI Association of Planners have named UPEI’s Dr. Adam Fenech the winner of the Murray Pinchuk Community Builder Award. The award recognizes the highest standard of community building in the public and private realms. “The association has selected Dr. Fenech as the 2014 winner based on his efforts to develop a coastal erosion visualization tool and his work to share ideas on how best to adapt to coastal erosion and sea level rise,” said Vahid Ghomashchi, president of the PEI Association of Planner in a news release. “This award is a testament to all who seek to make the built and natural environment better for the community as a whole. Dr. Fenech’s work demonstrates the value of sharing information with the public in the interest in generating discussion on solutions for sustainability. The CLIVE tool also reminds us all of the need to be innovative and creative in how we consult with the public we serve.” Dr. Fenech is director of UPEI’s Climate Research Lab.
