Three friends of Bird Studies Canada were recently appointed to the Order of Canada. Mark Cullen and Dr. Guy Morrison joined the Order as members.
The Honourable Warren Winkler was promoted from member to officer of the Order.
Canada's gardening guru Mark Cullen, a strong Bird Studies Canada supporter, was the Celebrity Birder for our Great Canadian Birdathon in 2013. Cullen's 'Mark's Choice' bird seed carries our logo as part of a corporate partnership involving Armstrong Bird Food and Home Hardware.
Shorebird expert Dr. Guy Morrison is an Emeritus Scientist with the Canadian Wildlife Service. Among other projects, he conducted fieldwork on the Red Knot, a rapidly-declining shorebird that breeds in the Arctic and has been a conservation focus for Bird Studies Canada.
The Honourable Warren Winkler, former Chief Justice of Ontario, is an Honorary Director of Bird Studies Canada. He has been a volunteer leader for the Long Point Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Fund (a BSC-managed research program) since helping create it in the late 1980s.
