Conservation Achievement Awards

Annually, the Conservation Authority presents Conservation Achievement Awards to encourage and promote volunteerism in conservation activities. The Authority invites nominations for these awards from the public for individuals, groups, agencies and businesses who contribute voluntarily to conserving and restoring the health of our watershed and local environment. The intent of the awards program is to provide public recognition to those who are contributing in some way to conservation efforts in our watershed. Invitations for nominations are solicited through various venues including media releases, correspondence and our web site. No limit has been established on the number of awards to be presented allowing for flexibility of recognition. The public are encouraged to submit nominations from their community.

In addition to these awards, the Conservation Authority also selects an individual, group and business to receive the Conservation Achievement Award of Merit. The Award of Merit is intended to “recognize a significant achievement or contribution by an individual, group, and business to improve and restore our local environment for the benefit of all watershed residents”. This special award is presented at the discretion of Authority members.

The Conservation Authority is undertaking several noteworthy restoration projects and the associated activities provide and encourage varied opportunities for community involvement. The number of volunteers assisting with projects is increasing considerably. The awards program is an excellent way for the Conservation Authority to publicly showcase the achievements of our volunteers and promote the significant impact of their efforts.
