Columbia Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership


Mark Creek 2004-05 Kimberley Schools and Community Awareness Project - $11,500

The aim of the project is to increase Kimberley community members’ environmental awareness of instream and riparian ecological functioning. The project targets both school classes and the community as a whole. The main types of activities are education and awareness including school hands-on restoration activities. The project will benefit the community by expanding environmental educational opportunities available to Kimberley schools and the community. This project is important as local educators and parents have expressed strong support for the continuation and expansion of the Mark Creek Recovery Program school activities. In addition the project forwards one of the goals established by the Mark Creek Advisory Committee (consists of representatives of community organizations) to “enhance the educational values of the Mark Creek ecosystem”.
