A Durham man is the first recipient of the Walkerton Clean Water Legacy Award. Connor Maxwell, who will be entering his second year in environmental engineering at the University of Guelph, received a $1,000 scholarship. Maxwell’s “deep interest in water and environmental issues and involvement with them from a young age” impressed the judges, the release said. In his studies he’s “learning design skills to minimize and prevent the impact of human activities on water, soil and air systems.” He’ll be working for the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority in water resources management this summer.
