Invitations for nominations are disseminated through various venues including media releases, correspondence and our website. There is no established limit 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 may select an individual, group and business to receive the 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 annual awards program is an excellent way for the Conservation Authority to publicly showcase the achievements of our nominees and promote the significant impact of their efforts.
