C.A.R.E. Stratford Seeks Nominations for Environmental Leader Awards
Know an unsung hero in our community? Someone who has made a difference in the Environment? Nominations are now being accepted for C.A.R.E. Stratford’s Environmental Leader Awards. There will be an award given in each of four different categories: individual, group, business and organization.
"Recognizing environmental leaders has always been an important component of our Environmental Symposia. By pausing to celebrate, we do more than honor the recipient, we create an opportunity for education and inspiration," said Kerry McManus, event organizer.
Previous environmental leader winners have included Eric Eberhardt, Donald McTavish and Martin Penner for their dedication and action. Rachel & Ryan Hacking were recognized for their work developing and promoting Swanfood; Sheila Clarke, Nora Walden and Stacey Wilson of Canadian Federation of University Women for their work on cosmetic pesticides.
"The awards are a time to highlight the breadth of opportunity for environmental action. They serve as a chance to honour the contributions made. They also help educate the broader public thereby building momentum for projects at any stage of development. The Environmental Leader awards prove the fact that people can influence their environment and that every action can make a difference," Stacey Wilson, Environmental Leader award recipient.
The Environmental Leader Awards will be presented on Earth Day with Stephen Lewis to an individual for his/her outstanding contribution to making an environmental difference; a group who has actively fostered environmental awareness and activism; a business whose actions have positively impacted the health of our planet and local communities and an organization who has worked to embed environmental action in their facility and/or programming.
Nomination ballots can be picked up at the Stratford Public Library or by emailing carestratford@cyg.net. Deadline for submissions is April 7th, 2008. Nominations may be dropped off at the Stratford Public Library or submitted electronically to carestratford@cyg.net.
The Awards will be presented on Earth Day with Stephen Lewis, Tuesday April 22nd at 7 pm at the Rotary Recreational Complex.
