GRCA looking for "watershed heroes"
The Grand River Conservation Authority is looking for watershed heroes.
A GRCA press release describes them as “the individuals, families, groups and businesses who put their time and energy into improving the Grand River watershed. Many do it without recognition, satisfied with the legacy they leave for future generations.”
GRCA officials say these people deserve to be acknowledged and are looking for nominations for the annual watershed awards, presented since 1976.
There are two categories:
- honour roll awards, presented for a sustained record of environmental achievement over an extended period of time; and
- watershed awards, for outstanding examples of environmental work
Nominations can come from anyone in the watershed. The deadline is May 1.
More information on the program, including the nomination form and a list of past winners, can be found on www.grandriver.ca/awards.
Winners will be honoured at a special event in October.
