Cottage Life Showcases Green Cottagers with New Awards ProgramJune 29, 2006, TORONTO, ON: Cottage Life is celebrating cottagers and cottager groups in Canada who are making extraordinary efforts to conserve their natural environment or reduce their ecological footprint. The Green Cottager Awards will honour those who are protecting cottage country for future generations. “At Cottage Life, we love cottage country and we believe in preserving it. And we know cottagers feel the same,” says Al Zikovitz, Publisher, Cottage Life Magazine. “So we want to recognize and encourage cottagers who are making a difference for the environment.” Are you restoring your shoreline? Building a greener cottage or reducing the impact of your existing one? Creating or protecting wildlife habitat? Helping the environment in other ways? Any of these initiatives could make you eligible for a Green Cottager Award. Two awards will be presented at the 2007 Spring Cottage Life
Show: Cottage Life will donate $2,500 to a cottaging-related environmental cause on behalf of each award recipient. In addition, four awards of merit will be presented, two in each category. A panel of judges appointed by Cottage Life will judge the nominations for the Awards. This panel includes judges with environmental expertise in the areas of sustainable building, design, and systems; habitat protection and restoration; water-quality improvement; and shoreline health. All nominations must be received in the Cottage Life offices no later than September 5, 2006.

We should enjoy it
– now and in the future – without screwing it up.” - 30 - Media Contact:Stacie Smith |
