Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) is accepting applications until Friday, December 18, 2026 for consideration for the local awarding of The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA).

Since 1996, TESA has recognized producers who go above and beyond standard industry conservation practices and set positive examples for other cattle producers and the general public. As stewards of a vast portion of the Canadian landscape, Canada’s beef cattle producers play a significant role in protecting and enhancing the environment. They continuously strive to improve existing stewardship conservation practices to create a sustainable future – always farming for tomorrow.

At the local level, a producer receives provincial recognition for their outstanding environmental contributions. In Manitoba, this occurs in conjunction with MBP’s annual general meeting in February. All provincial award recipients then move forward to compete for national recognition from the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA). The national TESA recipient is announced during the CCA’s semi-annual meeting held in mid-summer or early fall.

Each nominee exemplifies significant innovation and attention to a wide range of environmental stewardship aspects in their farm or ranch operation. Such innovations extend beneficially to areas far beyond their land, including water, wildlife and air.

How to Nominate

All beef cattle operations in Canada are eligible to apply for consideration for TESA. Interested producers can either nominate themselves, or be nominated by another individual or an organization. All methods are equally encouraged.

Note: If you are a producer who is considering self-nomination, MBP can provide you with guidance and suggestions on completing the application process.

The completed application form, along with all supporting documentation (such as letters of support, photos and/or videos), is to be submitted to Manitoba Beef Producers by email to [email protected] no later than Friday, December 18, 2026. If you have questions, please contact the MBP office at 204-772-4542.

This summer, federal, provincial, and territorial agriculture ministers came together to issue the Halifax Statement, a shared vision that will guide the Next Policy Framework.

More consultations and conversations are in store for the future, and our podcast sat down with former Manitoba Department of Agriculture Deputy Minister Dori Gingera-Beauchemin and Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute’s managing director Tyler McCann to learn more about the process: https://agriculture.canada.ca/en/agri-info/first-sixteen-podcast-ep-040-framing-next-policy-framework
