Camsell Medal

2000 Winner - Winifred Wadasinghe-Wijay

AFTER 27 YEARS of working above and beyond the call of duty, including taking the Society’s accounting and payroll department from the dark days of adding machines to more modern methods of number crunching, Canadian Geographic accountant Winifred Wadasinghe-Wijay, who retired this September, has earned more than the standard gold watch. Wadasinghe-Wijay is this year’s winner of the RCGS Camsell Award for outstanding service to the Society. But she won’t be gone for long: after a vacation abroad, she plans to return as a volunteer for the Society's programs.
