If you have questions and concerns about the watershed in your region, you’re not alone.
Living Lakes Canada is seeking ongoing community insight to understand concerns and priorities around freshwater, and everyone is welcome to contribute.
The public is welcome to join the conversation about the Lower Columbia-Kootenay Hydrologic Region online via Zoom on Tuesday, April 4 from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
“Through this project we are collaborating with local groups to expand our water monitoring network so we can work with communities and all levels of government to protect our watersheds. Community perspectives and insights are a valued part of the monitoring network design,” said Bill Coedy, Lower Columbia-Kootenay local reference group co-ordinator.
“We welcome public input to ensure that the expanded monitoring network addresses local water concerns.”
Feedback collected will help inform the selection of water monitoring sites for a Living Lakes Canada project that’s tracking climate impacts on water. Data collected will support communities and industry in adaptation planning for inevitable changes to water supply.
This initiative has been developed in alignment with Indigenous and non-Indigenous government groups.

Feedback can also be submitted through an online survey.
