Watershed Awareness Days

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is inviting residents to learn more about the Comox Lake Watershed through a series of walks, talks, and programs during Watershed Awareness Days, May 22-25. The CVRD’s Connected by Water team will educate residents on the history of the watershed and how safe drinking water is provided to over 50,000 people within the region.

“High-quality drinking water is produced by a healthy functioning ecosystem. To ensure the water reaching our taps is safe and reliable we need to protect the source. What people do on the land and in the water directly affects the health of the watershed and the quality of the freshwater within it. By working together, we can help protect the Comox lake watershed for future generations,” says Zoe Norcross-Nu’u, Watershed Protection Coordinator.

Check the CVRD’s website for the schedule.
