2021 CPS Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient
At the 2021 Canadian Peony Society AGM, Bill Wegman of Manotick, Ontario was presented with the society’s first Lifetime Achievement Award. "It is an honour to recognize someone of this stature for their long- time support of our society”, stated President Darlene Kalawsky.
Passionate about peonies since the mid 1980’s, Bill led the Friends of the Canadian Experimental Farm peony team and coordinated the CPS seed distribution program for over ten years. His peers know him as an educator, mentor, and breeder. He has supported the growing and development of Canadian breeding programs throughout the peony network, and is held in high regard for his knowledge and expertise. Congratulations Bill. Thank you for your generosity of sharing your knowledge with
others, and for supporting CPS.
