When will the Kus-kus-sum Wall Fall?
As the Kus-kus-sum initiative heads into 2020 people are eager to hear what is happening with the site, and more specifically, when. “The only thing we are waiting on is money” reports Kathy Haigh, Fundraising Director at Project Watershed.
Keeping It Living
Keeping It Living is the banner under which we do our sensitive habitat stewardship work. It comes from the Kwakʼwala word Q’waq’wala7owkw.
Kus-kus-sum
As part of our Estuary Stewardship, Project Watershed has committed to the restoration of the Field Sawmill site in partnership with the K’ómoks First Nation and City of Courtenay. We have been given a name for the site by the K’ómoks First Nation and are now calling it Kus-kus-sum.

Paintings, By the Numbers
Ken Kirkby and Nana Cook have donated 43 of their paintings and seven from their collection for a semi-formal gala event to raise funds and awareness for the purchase and restoration of Kus-kus-sum through the engaging and powerful medium of art and the promise of getting a great deal. Each painting is worth between $1,500 and $4,000. 50 ART DRAW tickets at $500 each will be presold for the event (ART DRAW ticket holders may bring 1 guest). Tickets to attend the event as an onlooker will be $15.
