From the Government of Alberta:
The Order of the Bighorn Awards is presented biannually and is Alberta’s most prestigious wildlife conservation award. Nominations for the Order of the Bighorn are now being accepted to recognize and honour the extraordinary efforts of Albertans to conserve provincial fish and wildlife resources.

Some past recipients include:
