Comox Valley Project Watershed Society will hold its 20th Annual general meeting on May 2, at 6:30pm in the Comox Valley Art Gallery at 580 Duncan Avenue in Courtenay.
“We have a special AGM program that should interest all residents who acknowledge the estuary and rivers and streams feeding into the estuary as the most important natural features in the Valley”, says Paul Horgen, Board Chair. Updates on their Puntledge salmon enhancement projects will be shared and new projects in the estuary including eelgrass planting and Blue Carbon will be presented. “Our education and outreach efforts included the sighting of a bird never reported in the Comox Valley, a flotilla on the estuary, and ended with a highly successful carol walk during the holidays” reports Betty Donaldson, Vice Chair of the group.
After a short business meeting and a refreshment break at approximately 8:15 pm, Caila Holbrook, Mapping Centre coordinator, will briefly demonstrate and present to all Comox Valley residents the Walking the Watershed Map of the Comox Valley. These are GPS generated, printable maps of walking trails in the Valley. The AGM will end with a special preview presentation of an 18 min video featuring the archeological work on ancient fish traps of Valley residents Nancy Greene and David McGee with comments from First Nations and other valley residents. This wonderful video was produced by Michael Fountain of Blue Bamboo Productions. Project Watershed invites everyone and anyone to attend.
