The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Remember
for
crooked
Lombard
Mountain
water
is
life.
Everyone
needs
clean
water.
Water
is
essential
for
food
security.
Wild
salmon
need
Cold,
clean
abundant
flows.
The
watersheds
in
BC
face
many
challenges.
Excuse
me,
including
a
rapidly
changing
climate,
which
requires
New
Management
to
help
ensure
they
remain
healthy.
A
Recently,
I
attended
the
healthy
Watershed
Symposium
in
musk,
William,
Squamish
and
slaywata
territories,
where
dozens
of
water
leaders
gathered
to
learn,
share
and
strategize
and
Hera
New
Zealand's,
deputy
secretary
of
climate
change
for
the
ministry
of
environment
spoke
about
the
Tao
Maori
and
how
water
is
managed
in
New
Zealand
a
place
where
Rivers
enjoy
the
rights
of
a
person.
Norm
Aller
Jr
of
the
lower
Kootenai
band
spoke
of
the
importance
of
restoring
Wetlands
Tara
Marsden
spoke
of
advancing
undrip
in
BC
and
of
Rights
title
and
Reconciliation
in
Watershed
work.
A
We
must
support
these
Watershed
leaders
if
we
are
to
turn
the
tide
to
resilient
watersheds
and
abundant
salmon
runs
it's
why
our
government
is
investing
100
million
in
healthy
watersheds
and
launched
the
engagement
of
a
new
co-developed
Watershed
security
strategy
intentions
paper
to
ensure
safe,
clean
abundant
Waters,
available
to
communities
Nations
and
Wildlife
across
BC
for
generations
to
come.
But
watersheds
are
the
lifeblood.
Bc's
watersheds
are
the
lifeblood
of
this
province
and
we
need
to
work
together
to
ensure
that
they
stay.
That
way.
Thank
you,
speaker.
