A Prestigious Award Just for Guides

The Leland Award recognizes Professionalism in the ranks of the Guides of British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

The Annual award will be presented to a deserving guide in March 2009. He or she will be selected by a special committee from the nominations submitted.

The Committee will be looking for those qualities and traits in a guide that helped make your hunting trip in 2008 a special and memorable experience.

The recipient of the award will receive a special bronze sculpture from Rick Taylor of World Wide Studio, along with a cheque from GOABC's insurance brokers Mones and Associates, Pacific Diesel Allison and the Seattle Sportsmen’s Conservation Foundation. The two runners up will also receive a monetary award. For Nomination Forms, ask your Guide Outfitter or contact:
