The purpose of the “Bleeds Black” Award is to highlight the passion and commitment of individuals to the superiority of asphalt as the pavement of choice in Ontario.  OAPC credits the award to past director Tim Fawcett, who, in 2012, was describing and individual and said “his passion and commitment for all things asphalt is so great that when cut, he bleeds black”.  After the discussion the idea for the "Bleeds Black" award was born.

 

Candidates must be actively involved in the asphalt industry in North America with direct benefit for the asphalt industry in Ontario and do not have to be a member of the Association.
