This is our Watershed Workshop
The Lake Windermere Ambassadors are pleased to announce that we will be hosting another Watershed Conversation April 9 with the theme ‘This is our Watershed.’
The workshop will build on discussions started during the Water Conversation held December 10, 2012.
During the December event, Anna Warwick Sears of the Okanagan Basin Water Board had three key messages for our community:
1) Communities Need to Come Together
2) Plan Ahead – Start the Discussion
3) Something We Want to Achieve? We Can Do it!
The April event will bring the community together to discuss issues and opportunities we have in our own watershed.
Get to Know our Watershed! by sharing information about what the watershed is like now – and about how things are changing.
Establish What Matters! by reflecting on what’s important to people and nature in this watershed.
Count Ourselves In! by becoming involved in the Watershed Conversation
