The local Ducks Unlimited committee commemorated its 25th year by raising funds at its annual banquet at La Place Rendez-Vous on Friday night.
The event raised more than $20,000 through raffles, silent and live auctions, and ticket sales.
“They [Ducks Unlimited] go and they use the money to restore wetlands and also to maintain them,” noted past committee chairman Barney Maher.
Maher was honoured Friday night with a 25-year award for excellence in service to Ducks Unlimited.
