Tony Milligan was a founding member of the TRCR, a past manager of reclamation at the Elkview Mine, and a BC reclamation inspector. Throughout his career, Tony had a keen interest in increasing our understanding of mine reclamation. Each year, the Milligan Book Award is given to the paper at last year’s BC Mine Reclamation Symposium judged to best address technical and practical aspects of reclamation.
The Tony Milligan Book Award was presented during the 2024 Symposium in Burnaby, BC for most practical paper presented at the 2023 Symposium in Prince George, BC. The Milligan book award was given to Dean Mackenzie for his paper, “Forest surface soil management from textbook to operations” in 2023.
