The Kootenay Lake Partnership is hosting a series of public open houses in August. The open houses will be an opportunity for the public to learn about the Kootenay Lake Shoreline Guidance Document, which is the result of a comprehensive Sensitive Habitat Inventory Mapping Project that involved an inventory and assessment of ecological, archaeological and Ktunaxa cultural values along the shoreline of Kootenay Lake.
The project began in 2012 as an initiative of the Kootenay Lake Partnership, a multi-agency partnership brought together to support collaborative management approaches for a productive and healthy Kootenay Lake ecosystem.
The Shoreline Guidance Document is intended to achieve key goals; such as helping assist in the recovery of fish habitat values lost to past development impacts, and the on-going protection archaeologically significant areas. The Kootenay Lake Partnership believes that is it possible and desirable to manage our watersheds and their natural surroundings in a sustainable manner and that sustainable management is the shared responsibility of all stakeholders; including proponents, professionals, all levels of government and community members.
The open houses will take place from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, with a presentation beginning at 7:00pm.
