The Comox Valley Project Watershed Society, founded in 1993, is holding its Annual General Meeting at the Deep Bay Marine Field Station on Saturday, May 24th, from 4:30-8:30.
The AGM will be a very special event as we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of Project Watershed. Board Chair Paul Horgen states, “With 20 years of outstanding stewardship for the Comox Valley, we have many accomplishments to celebrate, including sensitive habitat mapping, habitat restoration, and public awareness and education.”
The evening begins at 4:30 pm with the business meeting including an overview by the Board Chair, and will include a variety of special awards, for individuals involved with the history and legacy of Project Watershed.
This will be followed by a light repast at 5:45, compliments of Project Watershed’s Board and staff. We will have a variety of displays to explore and a video presentation during the mealtime.
At 6:30 there will be a keynote address by Brian Kingzett, Manager of the Deep Bay Marine Field Station on “Climate Change and Potential Ocean Acidification”, followed at 7:30 by a tour of the fascinating and innovative Marine Field Station.
