The City of Kawartha Lakes Environmental Advisory Committee (CKLEAC) is accepting nominations for the 2018 Environmental Hero of the Year Award until March 15, 2019. This award was created in January of 2004 by Council on a recommendation from CKLEAC. The criteria for a candidate to qualify are as follows:
- An individual or group from the City of Kawartha Lakes that has worked to address a local environmental issue in 2018;
- Made an outstanding environmental contribution within the City of Kawartha Lakes; and,
- Acted successfully to influence change for the benefit of the environment without any expectation of reward.
To accept this award, the individual or group must reside in the City of Kawartha Lakes. As a guideline, CKLEAC members and City of Kawartha Lakes staff are not qualified to receive the reward. If there are several compelling choices, individual efforts should be recognized before group actions. Where group action is considered, the leader should be recognized in preference to the entire group.
