AWARD
CD Manager Ryan Canart presenting the UARCD conservation award to The Basso Family.
The Upper Assiniboine River Conservation District is honoured to announce our Conservation Award for 2007 is in memory of Wayne Basso. Wayne spent much of his life enjoying sharing and educating others about our outdoor environment. Wayne believed that we should all work towards making our world a better place and lead by example. This philosophy showed in his involvement with many stewardship and conservation organizations. He was heavily involved in creating the local Shoal Lake Ducks Unlimited chapter, which we was involved with for 26yrs, He was a Conservation District member since Shoal Lake joined in 1997 and the chairman of the Shoal Lake Water Enhancement Corporation. Wayne was also a registered hunting guide and the secretary for the Riding Mountain professional Guides. It is with deep regret that we lost Wayne earlier this summer to cancer. Wayne will be deeply missed as a community builder, mentor, and local steward of the environment.
