The winners of the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority’s 50th anniversary Watershed Wonders photo contest have been announced.
First place overall goes to Kevin Lalonde, who also won the ‘People in Nature’ category.
Other category winners honoured on Feb. 22 include:
– Kaye Edmonds (Landscape and Water Categories)
– Megan Johnson (Sustainable Structures)
– Ken Sitter (Wildlife)
– Natalie Seidler (Youth)
Honourable mentions went to Chris Chartrand and Kaye Edmonds.
“To see these photographs, they tell the story of why conservation authorities, together with our municipal and community partners, need to continue the work we do as watershed managers so that our water remains healthy for generations to come,” says Shelley Belanger, NBMCA vice chair.
Each winner received a prize donated by local businesses.
An exhibition with the winning photographs will be held this year in the tower at the Conservation Authority’s Janey Avenue office, once the reconstruction of the tower is complete.
The winning photographs can be seen on the nbmca website.
