A partnership between Cowichan Tribes and the Province of B.C. will support the development of the Koksilah Watershed and promote water sustainability.
According to the province, a public engagement session will open dialogue to guide long-term approaches to water supply and ecosystem health in the area.
Engagement sessions have been ongoing since 2025 to gather input on the future of the Koksilah Watershed. The province said it is now seeking feedback on local needs.
“We’re asking respondents for their thoughts on local water needs, potential approaches to increase summer water flows and other topics related to watershed stewardship,” the province said.
The ongoing project planning has been a collaboration between the Cowichan Tribes Guidance Group, members of Cowichan Tribes and the wider community.
The public engagement session is scheduled for March 11 from 3 to 6 p.m. at The Hub at Cowichan Station.
