The Bowker Creek Initiative is hosting a series of events this week & next to help residents learn more about improvements to the vital local waterway.
The Bowker Creek Initiative was established in 2004, creating an action plan for what it will take to restore Bowker Creek in 100 years through the creation of the Bowker Creek Blueprint.
An Open House is planned from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight (Tuesday, June 10) at Camosun College/Landsdowne campus.
The online information session is planned for 7 p.m. Thursday. You can register online HERE.
