Canada's first True North awards honour the people saving its wildlife

The Canadian Wildlife Federation has named the first recipients of its True North Wildlife Conservation Awards, celebrating collaborative, solution-based work for species on the brink. Among them: a youth advisory group in Ontario where Moose Cree First Nation young people, guided by Elders, tag and track lake sturgeon — fish that have swum these rivers since prehistoric times — in the North French and Mattagami rivers, blending Indigenous knowledge with science. The winners will be honoured in Ottawa on October 23.
