Rethinking our Water Ways — The Regional Workshops
A wrap-up report and speaker presentations are now available from “Rethinking our Water Ways” a series of five regional workshops on water and watershed planning hosted by FBC in Prince George, 100 Mile House, Salmon Arm, Chilliwack and New Westminster between September 2011 and January 2012.
Thanks to all presenters and participants who attended the workshops and took this opportunity to:
- discuss key water and watershed issues, challenges and opportunities
- increase awareness and capacity for water planning
- understand climate impacts and adaptation and
- share local and regional perspectives, initiatives and success stories.
The 2011-2012 workshop series complemented the release of FBC’s Rethinking our Water Ways guide and website.
