TLC “Culture of Conservation” Awards

Montana Wright, eco-activist at McTavish Elementary School in Sidney receives his Culture of Conservation Award.

Each year at TLC’s Annual General Meeting, up to 3 awards are presented to recognize, honour and celebrate significant contributions that have been made toward creating a “culture of conservation” in British Columbia.

The awards are presented to individuals or groups who are associated in some way with TLC and who are resident and/or working in British Columbia on projects that include:

• conservation of natural areas
• conservation of cultural or built heritage properties
• conservation of agricultural properties
• conservation of outdoor recreational sites
• conservation of scientific or archaeological sites
• creating awareness and understanding of conservation issues
• engaging others in conservation projects

Recipients will be presented with their award at TLC’s AGM. Each recipient will also be asked to nominate a specific school, class or youth group who will (at a later date) be presented with a contribution of $150 to help them undertake a conservation project of their own, thus further building a culture of conservation in our province.

Making a Nomination

Any TLC Member may nominate (or suggest) an award recipient.

To make a nomination, please send an email to: tlcawards@conservancy.bc.ca and include the following information:
