COMMUNITY INFO SESSION

PROTECTING THE FISH CREEK WATERSHED

Thursday October 4, 2012  7:00-9:30pm

FREE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Canyon Meadows Community Centre (848 Cantabrian Drive SW)

This exciting evening event will allow residents of the communities surrounding Fish Creek Provincial Park to engage in discussion and dialogue with local environmental experts. Join fun and engaging speakers from a variety of environmental and conservation organizations: Dr. Hamid Habibi, University of Calgary Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine; Bernard Amell, Engineered Wetland Consultant; Brian Meagher, Provincial Biologist with Trout Unlimited Canada, and Mark Bennett of the Bow River Basin Council, as we examine environmental issues facing the Fish Creek Watershed. The Friends are also pleased to have Mac Hickley, Executive Director of the Calgary River Valleys, in attendance to welcome the audience.

                                                                                                                       

Through the Watershed Public Awareness program, the Friends are working with community members to help protect the quality of the water in the creek and preserve the Fish Creek Watershed. By taking action to maintain the health of the creek, future generations will have the same opportunities we do to enjoy the unparalleled beauty and natural diversity of Fish Creek Provincial Park.

The Watershed Public Awareness program made possible through grants from the Alberta Real Estate Foundation, the Bow River Basin Council, Brookfield Residential and the Alberta Conservation Association. This project was funded in part through the Watershed Stewardship Grant, a program of Land Stewardship Centre.
