Lane Anderson Award
The Lane Anderson Award is an annual award presented to Canadian non-fiction science in two categories; adult and young readers. It is funded by the Fitzhenry Family Foundation, and headed by Sharon Fitzhenry and Hollister Doll.[1] Winners receive a plaque and a prize of 10,000 dollars.
