The 2025 recipient of the Tom McTevia Memorial Award is the Disabled Access Program at Inland Northwest Wildlife Council. The Inland Northwest Wildlife Council acted in 2009 with a vision to create accessible hunting and fishing opportunities through accessible wheelchair platforms for sportsmen with disabilities. It has grown into an extensive network across the Inland Northwest with 11 platforms. Their efforts include ADA accessible parking, restrooms, boat launches, ramps, and docks. These platforms generally hold up to three people, including wheelchairs, dogs and gear. Additional platforms are planned for construction and installation in the coming years. They also issue Special Use Permits on an individual basis that allow special use of crossbows, scopes or imaging equipment, spin casting gear, and even electric motors on paddle only lakes depending on the disability.

This award was first given in 2016 in memory of community activist Tom McTevia, a former cop and Navy veteran. A chair user who loved the peacefulness of nature and believed everyone, regardless of personal limitations, should be able to experience it.

Thank you INWC for helping make outdoor recreation accessible to all!
