Consultation has concluded and the Final Plan has been adopted by Council.
The Willband Creek watershed is located in the centre of the City, and includes Mill Lake, west as far as Clearbrook Road, North to Matsqui Prairie and east beyond McMillan Road. The total catchment area is an estimated 1,800 hectares. A significant portion of the watershed is within the City core area of urban development.
A healthy environment is important to creating a complete and vibrant community. The City needs to balance development without adverse effects on the environment. The City has adopted the Final Plan for the Willband Creek watershed, to ensure we have good stormwater / flood management practices, good water quality, productive fish habitats, and healthy natural areas for residents to enjoy.

healthy.
