The Conservation Dinner of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation and Exeter Lions Club has been very honoured to have the generous support of prominent emcees, special guests and well-known and well-respected donors. The Conservation Dinner Committee is very honoured to announce that the Special Guest for the 2009 20th Anniversary Conservation Dinner is John A. MacNaughton. (Please see 'news' for story on this respected native son returning home to take part in this year's gala.) A Channel personality Scott Miller was emcee of the 2008 Dinner. Other emcees of the Conervation Dinner have included: meteorologist and television personality Jay Campell (photo at bottom right); John Davidson, founder of Jesse's Journey (photo at middle right); Randy Tieman, CTV sportscaster (photo at top right); statesman Jack Riddell; and many more.

This gala charitable fundraiser also appreciates the support of notables such as television writer and producer Tim Long and others.

The entire Ausable Bayfield watershed appreciates the contributions not only of the many celebrities who have given generously - but all our VIPs - especially our volunteers, donors and patrons.
