It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Wade Luzny, CEO and Executive
Vice-President of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. Wade left us peacefully on
Wednesday, February 17, 2016 at the age of 61 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his mother, Stephie Luzny (nee Menzul) and father, Frank Luzny.

Wade will forever be missed by his soul mate and wife, Karen (nee Fyfe); cherished daughter, Olivia; his brother Jerrry Zbytnuik (Donna), mother-in-law Ruth Fyfe and brother-in law Mykel Fyfe and many family, friends and colleagues.

Wade dedicated his life to many charitable and educational causes, leading the Canadian Wildlife Federation to new heights since 2005. Prior to this, he worked with the multicultural community and government in Saskatchewan with many landmark achievements. Wade was a visionary, with the kind of leadership that comes from the heart. He won the Ernest Thomas Seton Award for the best conservation messaging medium for a film on wetland habitat while he was working for the Saskatchewan Department of Parks and Renewable Resources. He enjoyed travelling the world, meeting new people, mentoring youth, boating, skiing and spending time with family. Wade was not afraid to take risks and lived life to the fullest, always trying in any way possible to make the world a better place. He will be remembered for many things, but his top priority was encouraging and enabling youth to experience and appreciate the many wonders of nature.
