The Grey Sauble Conservation Foundation is presenting an Owen Sound student with a $2,000 environmental award.
Kamyla Fisher, a graduating student from Owen Sound District Secondary School, was presented the Malcolm Kirk Environmental Award as she begins her post-secondary studies in environmental engineering at the University of Guelph in the fall.
The annual award is presented to a graduating secondary school student who is pursuing post-secondary studies in an environmental or resource management related field.
The foundation says, “Kamyla developed a deep sense of environmental responsibility through professional and personal experiences and has actively contributed to local initiatives. Her involvement in community climate action events has included presenting on an innovative sustainability project and engaging younger students in conversations about environmental leadership. These experiences have shaped her vision for a sustainable future and strengthened her commitment to driving positive change through problem-solving and effective solutions.”
Fisher, however, is the last recipient to be presented the award by the foundation.
“The foundation is proud to have supported numerous students pursuing career in environmental and resource management fields through this award and extends its gratitude to all past recipients for their dedication to conservation,” says the foundation.
