The Comox Valley Regional District, in partnership with the Stewardship Centre for BC and K鈥櫭砿oks Guardian Watchmen, have been awarded a grant worth over $1.1 million from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) through their Community Emergency Preparedness Fund. The grant funds will be used in the Dyke Road Park Green Shores Demonstration Project.

鈥淭his funding from UBCM is incredibly exciting for the community to support the Dyke Road Park Green Shores Demonstration Project,鈥� said Alana Mullaly, general manager of planning and development services. 鈥淲e look forward to working with our project partners to strengthen the site鈥檚 coastal resilience and minimize the risk of further flooding.鈥�

The UBCM grant application was supported by previous work done through the 台湾MM裸聊室 Flood Adaptation Strategy (CFAS) Phase 1 and 2, which recommends nature-based approaches to shoreline management to: build coastal resiliency, address sea level rise adaptation, and remove invasive species to improve habitat restoration.

Project partners include K鈥櫭砿oks Guardian Watchmen, Stewardship Centre for BC, Project Watershed, Guardians of Mid-Island Estuaries and Pacific Salmon Foundation.
