Award Background

The Joe Whitehead Award was established many years ago as a recognition award for the Wall & Ceiling industry in BC.  Joe was the publisher of the Journal of Commerce beginning in the 1950's. He started The Trowel Magazine in August 1953, and it has been in continuous publication since that date.   Joe loved our industry, and of any segment of construction, he thought the Wall & Ceiling industry to be the best.  Joe Whitehead passed away in January of 2002.
