The GEORGE WOODCOCK LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD annually honours an outstanding literary career in British Columbia. Since 1994, the City of Vancouver (Mayor of Vancouver’s office), the Vancouver Public Library, and a non-profit society (Pacific BookWorld News Society, founded in 1988) have been working in partnership to jointly sponsor and present an annual prize to a senior B.C. author.
