Members of Community Voices of Fort Erie are excited to announce that our President, Marcie Jacklin, is the 2021 recipient of the Stan Hodgkiss Outdoorsperson of the Year award. This prestigious national award is presented annually by the Canadian Wildlife Federation to “a Canadian who has demonstrated an active and enduring commitment to conservation”
For over 30 years, Marcie has been an advocate for nature and has worked hard to raise awareness of the importance of protecting our natural environment. In 2018, she spearheaded the movement to save Erie Beach/Waverly Woods and was instrumental in the formation of Community Voices of Fort Erie. Since then, she has worked tirelessly to highlight the uniqueness of this special place: both its historical significance and its importance as a wildlife habitat.
Marcie is featured in the July/August issue of the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s magazine, which is circulated across Canada. This award is quite a distinguished honour for her, and we are thrilled that she has finally gotten the recognition she deserves.
