Hosted by Comox Valley Conservation Partnership, the event will showcase various local groups in the Comox Valley who are working towards watershed sustainability and restoration.
Novak said the group previously offered watershed walks at the annual event — which mostly drew attention from adults and elderly people — but in 2022 they decided to put on a more stationary activity with canopy tents and attractions to entice the younger generation to come out. “The objective of these events is to educate and reach out to the public to inform them about topics related to watershed and habitat health,” Novak said. “We guarantee interesting information for all ages!”
There will be various CVRD-based environmental and community groups at the Family Watershed Day event and they will display and inform visitors about watershed-related topics.
