The Capital Regional District (CRD) has started to work on the next iteration of the Bowker Creek Blueprint.
Considerable progress has been achieved in the more than ten years since the development of the Bowker Creek Blueprint. Meanwhile, new information, studies, and plans have emerged that the update aims to capture while engaging with the public, partners, and First Nations.
The updated Blueprint will guide Bowker Creek Initiative member municipalities (District of Saanich, District of Oak Bay, and City of Victoria), School District #61, the Capital Regional District, the community and other land stewards as they work to manage and restore the Bowker Creek Watershed and creek corridor into the future.
