The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation is being celebrated nationally for creating a Canada-wide forum for women in wildlife conservation.
Devins is part of the group that conceptualized the annual AWIC Summit, and she sits on a national steering committee dedicated to the same topic, that organizes and co-ordinates events.
Devins said in taking a closer look, that ratio dips lower when considering women in leadership or governance positions. Women only made up 10 per cent of Saskatchewan’s conservation officers in 2022, according to the Saskatchewan Association of Conservation Officers. The first AWIC Summit was held in Saskatoon in November, bringing together 98 attendees representing six provinces to network and talk about their experiences in the many areas related to outdoors, wildlife and conservation.
It was a major success, and a second annual conference is returning in October, this time in Fredericton, N.B.
