April 2010 — Third Tri-Valley Awards to be Held in
South Nation Watershed |
| |
The 3rd edition of the Tri-Valley Conservation Awards Gala is still several months away on Oct. 20… but it’s time to start thinking about likely nominees.
Deadline for applications is Sept. 8, at 4:30 pm. Nominations are now being accepted in eight categories: Primary School (JK-Grade 6); Intermediate/High School (Grade 7-12); College/University; Agriculture; Community Groups; Individuals; Businesses; Municipalities.
Projects which nominees could be involved in include tree planting, water quality protection, shoreline stewardship, conservation education and advocacy, natural beautification and other activities contributing to the health of the watersheds.
Partners in the awards are Rideau Valley Conservation, Mississippi Valley Conservation, and South Nation Conservation. This time out, the gala event celebrating awards winners will be held in the SNC watershed at the authority’s new conference centre in Finch.
Available for community functions, the centre is tailor-made for the awards night which will give SNC a chance to show it off to a wider audience, said board of directors chairman Ken Hill who’s also chairing the awards gala.
“The Tri-Valley Awards are gaining recognition and prestige as they go along,” Hill said. “It’s becoming a badge of considerable honour in Eastern Ontario environmental circles to win one. We’re delighted to be hosting the gala this year.”
Emphasizing that they’re a credit to their home municipalities and to the region, Hill underlined the high caliber of candidates, finalists and eventual winners of the awards over the first two years.
The tri-valley area covers more than 12,000 square-km, from Perth, to Bon Echo, to Pakenham, into Ottawa and east to Plantagenet, and south to Morrisburg. Close to 1 million people live in the combined watersheds.

| RVCF Conservation Award |
|
| |
| From 1995 to 2006, the Foundation sponsored an annual RVCF Conservation Award. This award was given to the volunteer group or individual in the watershed who showed outstanding voluntary stewardship of the natural resources of the valley. Past awards have been given for work in forestry, community involvement and education, exemplary work on watershed improvements in several areas, and encouraging young valley residents to become aware of the value and respect due to the natural environment. |
