Congratulations to Al Dakin
who was presented with the 2014 MGUG Award at the Fall Conference on October 1st. Beginning in 2012, MGUS has presented this
award annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution to the
Manitoba Geomatics community. Tom
Naughten won in 2012 and Conrad Wyrzykowski won the award in
2013. I have known all three award
winners for many years and agree that they are outstanding individuals and
deserve recognition for their contributions to the Geomatics community.
For the last dozen years, Al Dakin was known as the force
behind the Manitoba Land Initiative (MLI).
After 35 years of working for the Government of Manitoba, Al has
retired. We already miss you Al.
Congratulations Al on your well-deserved award and on your
retirement.
