DirectoryA guide to community involvement, stewardship, Streamkeepers, and education projects in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory Published by Community Involvement Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Branch Fisheries and Oceans Canada Suite 200 – 401 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3S4 Dear Stewardship Community, This edition of the Stewardship and Community Involvement directory marks our 15th year of publication. We believe this is a useful reference tool, providing a summary of the numerous community-based projects and activities that partner with Oceans, Habitat and Enhancement Community Programs. This edition is organized by geographic areas to reflect the area-based management model which Fisheries and Oceans Canada has implemented in the Pacific Region. The future of our world depends upon educating children and young adults. The Stream to Sea education program is strongly supported throughout Pacific Region, with involvement of over 25 part and full-time Education Coordinators, 18 Community Advisors and many educational professionals and volunteers supporting the program. The Stream to Sea program combines oceans and aquatic species education and lessons on marine and freshwater habitat to create a stewardship ethic. The ultimate goal is to have students become aquatic stewards, caring for the environment around them. The Community Advisors dedicate their mission statement to the volunteers and community projects: “Fostering cooperative fisheries and watershed stewardship through education and involvement”. Our Community Advisors work alongside the stewardship community, building partnerships within community. From assisting with mini hatchery programs, policy implementation, to taking an active role in oceans and watershed planning, these staff members are the public face of DFO. Roy Argue, the well-known Community Advisor in the Williams Lake area, is now job- sharing with Tina Chestnut. Roy and Tina will each take turns for 6 months each year, acting as Community Advisor in the Williams Lake office. The contact information is identical, except for e-mail addresses, and both Community Advisors are included in the directory listings. Mitch Drewes is new to the directory as the Community Advisor for the Northern Interior and North Coast area, based out of Terrace. Many thanks to the thousands of committed Community Involvement volunteers who continue to inspire us with their hard work and dedication to the cause.
