Bill Fallow, P. Eng, chief plumbing inspector, technical inspection services, Department of Public Safety, New Brunswick was presented with the Joseph K. Seidner Award in August at the annual Canadian Advisory Council on Plumbing meeting in Vancouver, BC. Fallow is the fifteenth recipient of this award, which recognizes his outstanding contributions to Canadian plumbing codes and standards.

In his acceptance speech, Fallow noted that the award was the result of the dedication of many people in the room who he has had the honour of working with over the last two decades.

“Bill has been an integral part of the codes and standards development community, participating on several committees, task groups and industry advisory bodies over the years,” said Kevin Ernst, Plumbing Industry Advisory Council chair.

The award was established by the CIPH board of directors in November 2000 to honour Joe Seidner, the first recipient and an industry leader and friend of CIPH. Seidner passed away in 2003 at the age of 96.
