Volunteer Streamkeepers actively steward many of Campbell River’s urban creeks. From conducting basic maintenance to surveying fish populations, their work helps to maintain the health of our watersheds. Greenways acts as a facilitator for Streamkeepers: liaising with local Guardian groups, City staff, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Campbell River Environmental Committee. Greenways also assists in organizing workshops, carrying out stream restoration projects and providing resources such as specialist equipment and access to our documents library.
Throughout the year Greenways offers a free, two-day Streamkeeping course through the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation (endorsed by DFO), which is an asset for anyone interested in stream stewardship.
Greenways’ Community Engagement Coordinator hosts a monthly Streamkeepers meeting to discuss upcoming changes in fisheries policy, pool resources and discuss upcoming projects.
