Carson Forgrave, a member of the Barrie District Hunters and Anglers Conservation Club’s youth group, is this year’s recipient of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) heritage junior conservationist award.

In 2019, Carson won the OFAH Zone H junior conservationist award. His name and his submission was then sent on to OFAH head office, along with other applicants from clubs across the province. From all these hardworking and deserving youths, Carson was chosen as the winner.

The award is usually presented at the OFAH annual conference, which was postponed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The honour of presenting this award instead fell to OFAH chairman, and proud grandfather, Wayne Forgrave.
