Each year we give the chance for our members and their respective communities to nominate a water or wastewater operator who has provided outstanding service in their community. Votes are cast by our Board Of Directors and 1 winner from the south and 1 winner from the north is chosen.
Trophies and a prize accompany the recognition.
From the South: Carl John George
From the North: Shawn Petahtegoose
Each year our operators may bring a 4L container of treated water from their community. A selected panel of judges then takes all the containers handed in, and tastes them all for various factors.
1 winner from the south and 1 winner from the north is selected. Trophies and a prize accompany the recognition.
The Josephine Mandamin Trophy is awarded to the North winner. The Derek Kamanga Trophy is awarded to the South winner.
From the South: Mohawks Bay of Quinte
From the North: Big Grassy First Nations
In memory of our dear friend Gary Oja.
Introduced in 2019, this award will be presented yearly based on nominations handed in by our membership, nominating an instructor that has impacted or made a difference in our operators lives.
