The Cal Woods
Award
Cal Woods,
pictured above, was the founding secretary and for many
years the de facto unpaid executive director
of the Steelhead Society. As a quiet, gentle man with
infinite patience and iron resolve, he defined the character
of the Steelhead Society, guiding and shaping the energies
and efforts of younger directors. They all benefited
from his mentorship, as did the Society which won respect
as the capable and informed voice of river conservation.
It was the first organization inclusive enough to work
with First Nations, government, industry, commercial
fishermen, Canadian and foreign sports fishermen, and
local communities to provide solutions for problems
and activities threatening wild fish and wild rivers.
In that sense, there is no organization quite like the
Steelhead Society, and the Cal Woods Award reflects
that characteristic.
