Thank you for your comments and ideas – and keep them coming

Thank you to everyone who has submitted comments and feedback on the draft Kettle River Watershed Management Plan – your ideas and comments are invaluable and will help us complete revisions to the plan that reflect the interests and priorities of the community. While our deadline for comments was set for today (October 14), we would still like to encourage organizations or individuals to provide their feedback going forward, and we ask that you get in touch if you would like to schedule a meeting or discussion. All feedback will be held for future consideration as the Watershed Management Plan is intended to be a ‘living document’ (more like computer software than a house foundation), with improvements and new components added during scheduled reviews during implementation.

Revisions to the Plan will be discussed at a Stakeholder Advisory Group meeting at the beginning of November, and the Plan will be presented for endorsement by the RDKB Board of Directors at their November meeting. After that, organizations and stakeholders will be asked to receive the Plan and participate in implementing the various strategies and priority actions.
