[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Milton F. Gregg Awards are back and bigger than ever!
The awards have been presented by the Conservation Council annually since 1981 to deserving individuals and organizations who have contributed to protecting New Brunswick’s environment.
This year we’ve expanded the Milton F Gregg Awards in celebration of our 50th year of environmental action in New Brunswick. You can now nominate your Eco-Hero in one of 15 categories!
The main Eco-Hero award is given in memory of Milton F. Gregg, who was a founding member of the Conservation Council and had a particular concern for the health of the Wolastoq (St. John) River. Gregg served as federal cabinet minister, diplomat and Chancellor of the University of New Brunswick.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_toggle title=”Click here to see out full list of award categories!” custom_font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center|color:%23008000″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Alegreya%20Sans%20SC%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1559053835296{margin-top: -15px !important;margin-bottom: -5px !important;}”]
