Watershed Task Force
The Watershed Task Force was created in October 2005 to help the Municipality implement salmon recovery projects along Ship Creek, Chester Creek, and Campbell Creek. The Watershed Task Force advises on the scope and applicability of proposed restoration, conservation and public outreach projects.
