2007 Winner:
Adam William Bishop from Shawnigan Lake, BC is a broadcast journalism student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. He is passionate about sports, active in his community, and led a student anti-violence group in high school. In his application, Adam writes that "the [broadcast] industry has taken the stand that 'the person should be seen first, the disability second.' This is awesome because it means the media industry recognizes that although someone has a disability they can still work at the highest level. It is my hope that once I have graduated from this program I can continue to be an example and advocate for people with disabilities through the media."
