During June 2000, the SPFG was distinguished by the Honourable Joan Sawicki, B.C. Minister of Environment, Lands, and Parks as a recipient of the “2000 Minister's Environmental Award”. This award has been given annually for the past eighteen years to recognize outstanding contributions to the environment of British Columbia . Year number nineteen marks the first year that this award has been given to agriculture, in this case in the business category. The SPFG received this award because of its proactive and positive manner in dealing with environmental issues. Congratulations to all the poultry producers and their associations, and government supporting agencies that cooperated to make receiving this award possible!
In November 2002, the Sustainable Poultry Farming Group was nominated for an Agriculture Excellence award given through the Abbotsford Chambre of Commerce.
