Wink's contributions to the Canadian Beekeeping Industry were extensive, including 10 years of representing Canadian beekeepers in the Canadian Honey Council. Wink was also a recipient of the Fred Rathje Memorial Award, which is presented to a Canadian beekeeper who has demonstrated effective leadership in making a significant contribution to the improvement of beekeeping. His 13+ years of serving the Saskatchewan Beekeepers' Association and 5 years of serving the Saskatchewan Beekeepers Development Commission helped to grow and support the industry in Saskatchewan, which in turn supports the industry on a national level. Wink received the SBA's Life Member Award in 2011.
