Flowing it forward: Navigating water-based recreation & aquatic health in the Columbia Valley

Exploring water-based recreation and aquatic health in the Columbia Valley.

Join us for an engaging and educational event dedicated to raising awareness and promoting responsible stewardship of Columbia Valley’s waterways.

Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or part of the recreation community, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with experts and explore the pressing challenges facing the Columbia Valley’s lakes, rivers and wetlands.
