Convention Awards - presented at the annual convention in February!

Clayton Young Memorial Award Presented to individuals whose lifetime volunteerism has had a profound positive influence towards fulfilling our Federation’s mission statement “to ensure the wild life legacy we leave to our children surpasses that which we inherited.” These activities would include branch and membership support, wildlife and habitat conservation and education. The SWF would like to thank the branch executive and individual members who continually support the Federation’s many programs. We would be in dire straits without our dedicated volunteers who give freely of their time and expertise, to say nothing of the money spent out of their own pockets. Although we can’t individually thank each and every one of our volunteers, every branch has a core few that do the majority of the work or someone who has stepped up to the plate and taken on a major project. The branches are responsible for nominating their key volunteers and we will honour 6 recipients per year, one from each region.

Ed Begin Conservation Project Award Presented to the SWF Branch for the best fish or wildlife habitat project, contributing to the conservation, improvement and or public awareness of Saskatchewan’s fish or wildlife habitat. Many projects undertaken by the branches of the SWF are certainly worthy of nomination. If your project was worth the hours of volunteer time, money and effort it took to complete, it is certainly worth the effort it takes to nominate it for this award. Judging on this award depends on how well the submission is done up. Branches make presentations on their projects (power point, pictures, newspaper clippings, etc.) on the convention floor. The convention delegates vote on the projects and the award plus $500 is presented to the winning branch at the convention.

Resource Management Conservation Award Presented to the professional employee in the conservation and/or resource management field, who has demonstrated dedication, courage, ability and expertise above and beyond the normal course of duty in managing and preserving Saskatchewan’s natural heritage. There are many employees in the resource field that are well deserved of this nomination. Consider for example your local conservation officer, local biologist (fisheries/wildlife), personnel from Ducks Unlimited, Ministry of Environment, Nature Saskatchewan, Nature Conservancy, or your own SWF, etc.

Gordon Lund Memorial Award Presented to the person who, by thought, effort or deed is considered to have contributed the most towards the conservation of Saskatchewan’s renewable natural resources. Again, there are many people across the province that should be nominated for this award. This could be your neighbour, wife, husband or local conservationist – anyone who you feel has contributed to the conservation of our natural resources (i.e. someone who spends countless hours teaching our youth about wild-life and conservation, a certain person who has spearheaded an ongoing project and has stuck with it from beginning to end, etc.) It is very important how you present your nomination. Just because you or your branch know of all the good things this person has done, remember the judges don’t.

Careful consideration should be given towards choosing worthy recipients for these most prestigious awards. Please send your submissions into Central Office by January 1. Your branch or any interested individual can make submissions. Judging panels prior to convention vote on all awards except the Ed Begin Conservation Project Award. The Project Award is voted on by the Convention delegates – all that is required by the January 1 deadline is the branch and the name of the project – the presentation by the branch is done on the convention floor and time will be set aside on the convention agenda for the project presentations.



Bill McDonald Youth Conservationist Award Presented to the youth (18 and under), who by thought, effort, or deed, is considered to have contributed the most towards the conservation of Saskatchewan’s Renewable natural resources. Any youth, 18 years of age or under, con be nominated for this award. This could be someone who has initiated programs for the local youth group or branch in general; has grown with your youth group and now has taken over a leadership role in teach-ing others; shows a great concern for our natural resources and is taking an active role in conservation; started a group with their friends or at their school etc., etc. There are many young people out there who deserve

the recognition and encouragement to continue on with their efforts. They are the future!

Lorne Topley Memorial Stewardship Award This new award is sponsored by the SWF Branches in Region 2 to honor the memory of Mr. Lorne Topley, who was a passionate leader in land stewardship. First presented at the 2015 SWF Convention, it will be presented annually at the SWF convention to an individual, group, or family whose actions exemplify excellence in wildlife land stewardship, enhancement and securement.

Convention Awards - presented at the annual convention in February!

Honorary Provincial Life Member An individual who has made an outstanding contribution, provincially, to the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and/or the conservation of Saskatchewan’s natural resources can be nominated for an Honorary Provincial Life Membership. Nominations by a branch, in writing, must be received by the SWF Central Office at least 60 days prior to the annual meeting, and must include a description of the nominee’s contribution. The SWF Board of Directors shall approve or reject the nominations.

Best Resolution Award The A.J. Rankin Award is voted on by the convention delegates and presented at the annual convention for the best resolution. The best Resolution cannot be a Board Resolution. Resolutions must be approved at a branch meeting, and then passed at a regional meeting before being presented at Convention.

Photography Awards Photos are displayed and judged at Convention and First to Third place awards are given in both the wildlife and scenery categories. Winning photographs will be featured on next year's Convention Book, and the top photos in each category may be featured in the Outdoor Canada Magazine, the SWF web site, and/or SWF promotional material. See details on page 7.

Branch Recognition Awards Branch awards are given out at convention and give recognition for various levels of donations made by branches.

Top Membership Salespeople Recognition of membership sales is made each year at convention, and the top seller from each branch can receive this award. The branch is responsible for submitting the name to SWF Central Office.

Tailender Award This award is not coveted as much as it is enjoyed by all of the other delegates. This special recognition is selected and presented by the previous year’s recipient.

OTHER AWARDS TO CONSIDER…

Do you love taking pictures? Do you love Saskatchewan’s outdoors? If you have any Saskatchewan wildlife or scenery photos, then this is your chance to be recognized! Submit your photos for the Annual SWF Photo Contest. Photos will be displayed and judged at the upcoming Annual Convention in Yorkton in February. Individuals must submit their photos to their local branch (please check with the branch to find out deadlines), and then each branch submits their top photos at Convention. Branches wishing to enter the photo contest must have the photos there by the first day of Convention and dropped off at the Merchandise Desk.

The following list of rules will be adhered to: 1. Categories: Wildlife (Saskatchewan only, Big Game, Predators, Birds, Fish, etc., no animals in the confines of a

branch executive must accompany the entry. Branch name, photographer, and address should be on the back of each photo.

6. Competition is for amateur photographers only. Trail camera photos not allowed. 7. Open to all ages. 8. Each branch may enter one photo for each category. The branches will select their entries and monitor the rules

for the provincial competition. 9. Lighting, development, type of film used, will be the choice of the participant. Digital photo enhancement is

limited to cropping, dust removal, and adjusting lighting and color. Any photo layering or combining will not be permitted.

10. Ballots are in the delegate’s kits at Convention.

11. Photos will be numbered for the display.

SWF ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST



NASP GRANTS AVAILABLE

NASP® is offering grants for new schools wanting to implement NASP and for existing NASP schools to replace aging equipment. Each new school must purchase a standard NASP® kit from the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) and use the grant money towards this purchase. Replacement equipment must also be purchased through SWF. The equipment MUST be purchased and paid for before December 31, 2015. New schools must have teachers certified as Basic Archery Instructors (BAIs) before the equipment will be delivered to the school. Certification must take place before January 31, 2016 and can take place before equipment has been purchased.

Did you know? Branches who purchase a NASP kit for a school in their area are eligible to apply for the grant as well! It’s a great opportunity to donate vital funds back into the program to help sponsor one or more students for National and World level competitions.

In order to distribute the funds, we require that each interested school fill out the application and return it to: Laurel Waldner, Education Coordinator [email protected] Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation 9 Lancaster Road, Moose Jaw, SK S6J 1M8 FAX: 1-306-692-4370

A special thank you to our dedicated NASP sponsors!

PARTING THOUGHTS…NOTES FROM THE SWF

The hunter’s portion provides written permission to hunt.

OPERATION RESPECT SIGNS Operation Respect Signs are designed to promote good hunter/landowner relations. The following signs are available: • Respect the Landowner's Rights - Ask Permission to Hunt • Building in this Area - No Shooting Please • No Vehicles Allowed - Hunting on Foot Only • Please Close the Gate • Hunting with Permission Only • Livestock in this Pasture - No Hunting Please
