Thank you for submitting your nominations! 

Welcome to the NPCA's Get Involved portal!

Invitations for award 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. Our communities are encouraged to submit nominations.

As a result of pandemic, plans for the 2020 awards were put on hold to this year's event will recognize our incredible volunteers and community partners from 2020 and 2021.

In addition to these annual awards, the Conservation Authority selects 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 the NPCA, with support from the community through the nomination process. The NPCA 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 NPCA to publicly showcase the achievements of our nominees and promote the significant impact of their efforts.

We invite you to nominate individuals, organizations, and businesses that have made such an impact and deserve to be recognized.
