. Agri-news. Agriculture. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REGIONAL HOME ECONOMIST RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD Alberta Agriculture's regional home economist at Two Hills, Edith Zawadiuk, is the first woman from Alberta to be awarded an honorary life membership in the Canadian Society of Extension (CSE). Throughout her extension career, Ms. Zawadiuk has shown outstanding leadership qualities and has inspired the organization of numerous tours, conferences, 4-H clubs, etc. She has also initiated programs in cooperation with both local and regional agricultural service boards, and she has trained several district agriculturists and district home economists in the finer aspects of extension work. Over the years she has also shown a great deal of foresight in determining the needs of rural Albertans. Under National Extension Award Winner, her guidance, the district home economists in the northeastern Edith Zawadiuk.* region of the province developed and tested recipes for canola oil and frozen eggs before Alberta Agriculture began focussing on marketing these. And she initiated home economics TV programs when the Lloydminster TV station opened in the late 1950's. In addition to hosting the show, she often found herself acting as cameraman as well. She was also instr- umental in the formation of the Lakeland Home Economics Association. Ms. Zawadiuk is well known for her work with a variety of ethnic groups. In 1976 she was made an honorary princess by the Saddle Lake Indian band in appreciation for all the work she had done for them. *Photo courtesy: Ernie's Photo Studio, Vegreville, C ' Phone: (403) 427-21 21 - (cont'd) - y^lborta AGRICULTURE Print Media Branch.
