Acknowledgments

The Let's Talk Science Partnership Program has been in operation at UBC since 1997. The success and continued growth of the program could not have been possible without the hard work and determination of a number of people, first and foremost of all, the dedicated volunteers that made this program what it is today. This resulted in Let's Talk Science Partnership Program UBC receiving the McCrae Award.
