The B C Wildlife Federation held a Wetland Keepers Workshop in Armstrong and Spallumcheen this spring. Part of the field work was in the wetlands bordering Okanagan Street. As we walked along the path by Meighan Creek, it was suggested that we try to build a pond and enhance the City owned piece of wetland.
As a result of this idea and their encouragement, AWA met with the planner Dan Passmore and Councilor Fowler. They encouraged us to approach council for approval to move forward.
On Sept. 6 AWA attended a council meeting with our request. The staff recommendation was adopted unanimously and enthusiastically
