CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

You are invited to attend a 2022 Community Watershed Monitoring Network Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon!

Join us on Saturday, November 19^th, from 1:00 – 3:00pm at the McMillan Arts Centre in Parksville for a catered lunch, volunteer gear, door prizes, activities, and an opportunity to introduce your stewardship group to potential new volunteers.

The RDN’s Drinking Water & Watershed Protection team is so grateful to be partnered with 14 wonderful environmental stewardship groups, whose dedicated volunteer work make the Community Watershed Monitoring Network program a possibility.

After a couple years of postponement, we are delighted to host an in-person event to express our appreciation and gratitude for your participation.

This event will also be open to the public and those who may be interested in learning more about volunteering with a stewardship organization and participating in the Community Watershed Monitoring Network. There will be an opportunity to introduce your group to potential new volunteers from the public by having a display table or providing a short presentation.

Please register to attend by emailing waterstewardship@rdn.bc.ca and let me know:

If your organization would like to have a display table at the event. We will provide tables for display materials and are happy to offer some assistance with developing and printing materials that highlight your group. The venue is booked for a couple of hours before and after the event, so there is plenty of time for setting-up and taking-down displays.

If you would like to give a short 5-minute presentation about your group and the important work you do. There will be a projector, screen, and microphone available at the venue for presentations, if desired. If you are planning to present with PowerPoint slides, we will also have a computer available so you may bring your presentation on a USB or email your presentation to waterstewardship@rdn.bc.ca prior to the event.

If you have photos that you’d like to share of watersheds and water stewards. We will be putting together a photo slideshow of local streams and the folks who work so hard to care for them. If you have any photos that you would like to share, please don’t hesitate to send them now and throughout the upcoming monitoring season to waterstewardship@rdn.bc.ca.

We are very much looking forward to hosting you and hope to see you there!
