Our next field trip will be on Thursday, June 11th with a CRD Watershed Tour to learn about where our water comes from and how it is protected and treated.
The bus tour follows the flow of our water supply starting at the north end of the Sooke Lake Reservoir to the surrounding forests and Rithet Creek, the main tributary to Sooke Lake Reservoir.
During the tour, we will explore the Sooke Lake Dam, go on a forest walk to explore the ecosystems that support our water supply, and visit the Goldstream Ultraviolet Treatment plant to learn about the water treatment process that provides Greater Victoria with drinking water.
See you there!
