BOWKER CREEK INITIATIVE

The Bowker Creek Initiative (BCI) is a collaborative effort between people, organizations, and local governments to protect and enhance the ecological, social and economic health of the Bowker Creek watershed. The initiative was established because of concerns about flooding, pollution, and the degraded condition of Bowker creek... Our mission is to serve the public good, plan for the future, and help build a livable, sustainable and resilient region. We work across municipal and electoral area boundaries to deliver services to residents regionally, sub-regionally and locally through an inclusive, efficient, and open organization... We provide services that involve regional water supply, solid waste, wastewater treatment, regional parks, housing, 911 call answer, and recreation facilities. For electoral areas outside of municipal boundaries, we act as a local government, providing services and delivering projects at the local level.
