Cowichan Tribes and B.C. Government team up to save Koksilah River with unprecedented agreement
Stepping into his childhood playground of the Koksilah River Friday, Tim Kulchyski was gleeful to see young fish swimming in its shallow water. A positive sign that the Cowichan Valley river still has a lot of fight left in it after rounds of drought and record lows.
“This is the first time in the province’s history we’ve done a water sustainability plan together,” said Cullen. “Because we’ve damaged many of our watersheds, we have contributed to their degradation. Now we need to contribute to their restoration and that is something that brings me a sense of hope, along with that sense of urgency that we are facing situations that were unimaginable 20 years ago.
