Middle Grand Chapter of Freshwater Conservation Canada was honoured at Oxford County Council yesterday.
OXFORD COUNTY - The 2025 Oxford Stewardship Award has been handed out.
During the Oxford County Council meeting yesterday, Warden Marcus Ryan presented Middle Grand Chapter of Freshwater Conservation Canada with the honour for their contributions to land improvement and sustainability. It is a group of volunteers who has the simple goal of healthier water. Over the last three years, they have planted over 2,000 trees along a stretch of Horner’s Creek in Oxford County, between 8th and 10th Concession, just outside of Bright.
The Middle Grand Chapter was one of three on the shortlist of nominations, and representatives of local stewardship organizations, with Marinda Gras of Soil & Crop Improvement Association, and Cher Sprague with Stewardship Oxford, leading the judging process, determined the Chapter to be the best fit for the honour.
This year the winner will get a $500 gift card to purchase riginal artwork commissioned from an Oxford County artist of their choice, or an experience at a local destination featured through Tour Oxford. Also, they will get their name on the recognition wall at the Oxford County Administration Building, designed to honour all past and future recipients of the Oxford Stewardship Award.
