Join us to celebrate CPAWS’ 60^th Anniversary and announce the 2023 recipient of the CPAWS Conservation Award

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society invites you to save the date for our reception celebrating 60 years as Canada’s leading national and regional voice for protecting public land, freshwater and ocean. This milestone will mark six decades of conservation work by dedicated staff, board members, volunteers, donors, and partners.

We will also be honouring leaders in nature protection by presenting the re-imagined CPAWS Conservation Award. Previous winners include Elizabeth May, Jean Chrétien, and Mike Harcourt, as well as dozens of dedicated conservationists, such as Jim Thorsell, John Theberge, and Monte Hummel.
