Friends of McIntyre Creek:
Our achievements were recognized by MLA Kate White in her address to the Yukon Legislative Assembly yesterday! Below is the excerpt from her speech:
"This
year, during Canada Water Week, the Friends of McIntyre
Creek, received the Excellence in Water Stewardship
award. This comes as no surprise to me, as this group has
been a strong voice in the protection of the McIntyre
Creek ecosystem.
Last
year the group unveiled interpretive signs that highlight
the richness of the area to visitors. Friends of McIntyre
Creek plan on using the $1,000 prize to buy equipment
for a wetlands keeper program this summer. The program will
give volunteers the tools they need to monitor the health of the
water, plants and animals and the creek. It is worth noting that this
is the second year in a row that the Friends of McIntyre
Creek have won a water stewardship award."
Stay tuned for more details about the wetlands keeper program!
