Ryan has packed a lot of information into this presentation, and it’s worth more than a quick read to understand the active role that we, as Saanich residents, need to take on if we’d like Saanich to attain the goals of the UFS.
The Friends of Bowker Creek will be hosting the subject presentation on Wednesday, May 28, 2025 from 7 – 9 pm at Windsor Park Pavillion in Oak Bay. The presentation will be followed by their Annual General Meeting – a great opportunity for you step forward and become more involved in caring for the Bowker Creek watershed!
