I had the distinct honour of being the recipient of this year's Waterloo Region Nature's Conservation Award.
Marg and Graham Macdonald were in charge of the nominating committee and are seen here reading from their notes.
Stephanie Sobek-Swant, Executive Director of the rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge was very kind indeed with her tribute.
And her daughter, Cordelia, was happy to say "Thank you" for the enjoyment she has had from the environmental aspects of the Westmount Sports Complex.
This is President Jon Walgate presenting me with the award.
And I think that the following images need no further comment from me.
Seems to me it's a good night when you receive recognition for doing what you absolutely love to do.
