The Millard Piercy Watershed is an urban gem—its main streams, 11 tributaries, and network of wetlands flow through Courtenay’s neighbourhoods, parks, and farmland, offering vital habitat and everyday connections to nature.

Join the Millard Piercy Watershed Stewards for a family-friendly guided walk along the Courtenay Riverway Trail and learn how this dynamic watershed supports biodiversity, climate resilience, and community well-being.

Your guides will be Helmut Novak, Vice President of MPWS with years of dedication to protecting these waterways, and Jen Waller, a biologist and the group’s new program coordinator.

Please note: there will be two walks, one leaving at 10 AM, the second leaving at 11 AM. Each walk will cover the same path, and take approximately 1 hour. Registration required.
