Committees
The Bowker Creek Initiative is governed by committees.
The Steering Committee includes representatives from all the partners and makes consensus-based decisions to guide the Initiative. The various subcommittees provide information to this decision-making committee, which meets bi-monthly.
The following Subcommittees focus on particular details within the Initiative.
- The Outreach Subcommittee focuses on raising awareness in support of the goals in the Watershed Management Plan.
- The Master Drainage Plan Subcommittee (now disbanded) worked diligently to oversee the development of a Master Drainage Plan – which contains engineering recommendations to address flooding and erosion in the watershed. This Plan is Phase One of an Integrated Stormwater Management Plan.
- The Integrated Stormwater Management Plan Subcommittee is overseeing the creation of a detailed plan that addresses many of the goals in the Bowker Creek Watershed Management Plan.
- The Greenways Subcommittee has produced a map that details potential greenways corridors in the watershed, and has provided this map to the three municipal councils as input to their greenways planning processes.
