2008 ISC CENTURY FAMILY FARM AWARD DEADLINE APPROACHES

Released on February 8, 2008

Information Services Corporation (ISC) is now accepting applications for the 2008 ISC Century Family Farm Award. The program pays tribute to the contributions of families who have farmed the same land continuously for 100 years or more. The awards are distributed annually, and this year's application deadline is March 15. Families will be honoured at celebratory events across Saskatchewan in June.

"The ISC Century Family Farm Award recognizes the commitment and hardships of Saskatchewan farm families in building the province we proudly call home," Crown Corporations Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. "Through the generations, these families have made significant contributions to our economy and prairie culture, and these awards have become a fitting badge of honour in the farming community."

The following criteria are used to determine if applicants are eligible to receive an ISC Century Family Farm Award:

  • Members of the same family have farmed or ranched on the land continuously for 100 years or more.
  • The family must live in Saskatchewan and continue to operate the farm or ranch.
  • The application form must be completed in full.

Once the application is received, ISC searches its land grant database to determine their date of eligibility on the applicant's behalf, free of charge. Once eligible, recipients receive a replica of their ancestor's original land grant, Century Family Farm Award certificates and a choice of one of three awards.
