The Canadian Farm Builders Association presented Ed Podniewicz with an Honorary Lifetime CFBA Membership Award at our awards dinner on April 23, 2024.
The award, supported by the CFBA membership and Board of Directors, was presented due to Ed's significant contributions to the agricultural building industry as well as his support of the CFBA over many years. Ed has been a Chief Building Official for many years and is active with the Bluewater Chapter of Ontario Building Officials Association, working closely with the CFBA for a number of years on updates to the National Farm Building Code.
As a regular attendee of the CFBA Annual Conference, Ed provided a unique and valuable perspective that helped shape the conversation. Moreover, he advocated for the Bluewater Chapter of the Ontario Building Officials Association to become an award sponsor for the CFBA Awards and presented many of these sponsored awards himself.
Thank you, Ed, for your dedication to the agricultural building industry and your continued support of the CFBA!
