GRAND RIVER CONSERVATION AUTHORITY

Do you know a watershed hero?
They’re 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.
The Grand River Conservation Authority thinks they deserve to be acknowledged and is looking for nominations for its annual Watershed Awards.
The GRCA has presented the awards since 1976.
There are the two categories:
- Honour Roll Awards - presented for a sustained record of environmental achievement over an extended period of time
- Watershed Awards for outstanding examples of environmental work
Nominations can come from anyone in the watershed. The deadline for nominations is May 1, 2017. More information on the awards, including a nomination form and information about past winners, can be found on www.grandriver.ca/awards.
The winners will be honoured at a special event in October.
