Bowker Creek - implement a new culture

"The big learning from the Bowker Creek process is the process itself. We have a good model to work with," stated Jody Watson.

"I hope that in future we will get to a point where we dont have to develop a specific plan for a watershed.... because we will have changed the culture and the thinking; and how we develop and how we engineer."

Over about a 2-hour period, Jody Watson (Chair of the Bowker Creek Initiative) weaved the story of Bowker Creek from the late 1800s through until the present. Her storytelling provided context for the collective indifference that had characterized the urbanization of Bowker Creek for more than a century; and for the design with nature ethic that is now driving watershed restoration.

The Bowker Creek Forum on February 23, 2010 was a celebration of the Bowker Creek Blueprint. Because the Blueprint accomplishment is of provincial significance, the Forum was also an opportunity for inter-regional learning.
