Bowker Creek, also known as Thaywun, and its watershed are on the ancestral lands of the lək̓ʷəŋən people, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.  We respect, honour and are inspired by their vital relationship with these lands and waters, and how they have stewarded them through countless generations, continuing to the present day.  

We are working towards realizing a vision where the varied human uses and natural areas in the Bowker watershed are managed to minimize runoff and pollution, making Bowker Creek a healthy stream that supports habitat for native vegetation and wildlife, and provides a community greenway to connect neighbourhoods.

Specifically, our objectives are to:

• Enhance, restore, and protect Bowker Creek and green-space in the watershed,
• raise community awareness of the watershed,
• focus community-based action on the environment, and
• develop a continuous protected riparian corridor along Bowker Creek.
