Jamie Lamont has been named 2024 Educator of the Year by the BC Landscape and Nursery Association.
Lamont is a Kwantlen Polytechnic University instructor and School of Horticulture co-chair in the Faculty of Science.
“I am truly honoured and deeply appreciative of this recognition from the BCLNA. There are so many dedicated educators who go above and beyond to foster learning, especially in a field like horticulture, where so much of the knowledge can’t be found in textbooks. It’s a privilege to share this knowledge with the next generation and help shape their understanding of a field that is both rich and ever evolving," says Lamont.
Lamont is a graduate of KPU in 2006, having earned a Horticulture Technology Diploma in Landscape Design. He spent many years operating his own company, and in 2016 achieved his Landscape Horticulturalist Red Seal.
