 Annual General Meeting
The Community Action Award Recipient
PROJECT WATERSHED
Chapter Member Linda Safford presents the 2017 Community Action Award to Paul Horgen, Chairperson of Project Watershed.
Bio-remediation to protect Baynes Sound, salmon studies and enhancement on the Puntledge River, eel grass restoration, salt-marsh construction, and the lagoon breech at the Airpark are a few of the many initiatives Project Watershed has spearheaded over the past 24 years.
Their current undertaking, Kus-kus-sum, is one of the largest, most high-profile initiatives in local conservation history. It is a partnership with the K’omoks First Nation and the City of Courtenay to “unpave paradise” and restore the former Fields sawmill site on the Courtenay River to estuary salt-marsh and riverside forest. The name Kus-kus-sum honours an early First Nations village in that area. See website for details.
