Tchesinkut Watershed Protection Society to announce photo contest winner

A need for photos of Tchesinkut Lake turned into a contest with the winner being announced on Monday.

The Great Tchesinkuit Lake Photo Contest was put on by the Tchesinkut Watershed Protection Society.

“We were talking to Costal Gas Link and TC Energy, and discussing general things when we mentioned wanting to get some data on the lake out to the public and they said they could maybe help,” said President Ronald Miller.

He added the photo was wanted to be used for publicity in a letterhead and logos.

The contest ran through the month of October with 65 submissions being made.

“The comments I got is people were happy to do this and think we’re going to have a really good display of photos,” said Miller.

While submissions have closed, he has thought about the possibility of running a similar contest next year.

“I’m not sure yet what we’re going to do next year but its a possibility.”

All the submissions will be on display at the Heritage Church Monday evening from 6:00 to 7:30.
