2021 PABC Annual Awards

Each year, the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia (PABC) recognizes members who make outstanding contributions to the profession.

“It was inspiring to see so many engaged members make the time on Saturday to attend our first-ever PABC Member Day. Of course, the sessions were virtual, but this did not stop us from thoughtfully catching up and connecting with one another. Thank you to our incredible speakers, moderators, attendees, and the PABC staff for organizing the day. A big congratulations to all the award recipients, and thank you to UBC for presenting their awards alongside our ceremony. Members, we will update you via email when the recordings are available to view.” – Christine Bradstock, PABC CEO.

Congratulations to our 2021 award recipients:

Sue Murphy

Department Head
PABC Award of Excellence: Lifetime Achievement

“I am overwhelmed to have received this recognition – not only because it feels amazing to be given an award for something I love to do, but also because I have always been in awe of those who have won it before me! Being nominated by peers is such a great honour – I can’t thank everyone enough for being so kind to take the time to put in the nomination.”
