Building capacity for collaboration and watershed governance in British Columbia.

Watersheds 2016: Building Capacity for Collaboration and Watershed Governance in British Columbia is a 1.5 day forum that builds directly on the learnings and successes of Watersheds 2014. Through panel sessions, field trips, breakout workshops and structured peer-to-peer learning, participants will build skills and enhance capacity for watershed governance in British Columbia.
