Fundraising UpdateGreetings all, The painting project looks very good, and we are so grateful for the many donations that we received. We were able to raise $4600.00 toward the painting project. We have a new fund-raising plan for the youth programs at our church. The funding will benefit the Sunday School, Messy Church, Vacation Bible School, Junior and Senior youth programs. We know that we have asked twice in a short time and are very thankful. |

Bilston Creek Conservation CorridorA Unique Opportunity for St. Mary's to Parish Council was delighted to have Morgan Yates present a proposal on a partnership opportunity with the Metchosin Foundation. The Bilston Conservation Corridor Project: A multi-year, multi-agency initiative, seeking to preserve intact habitat and biodiversity, within the heart of the Bilston Creek Watershed. Working in collaboration with supportive local landowners, secure an interconnected corridor of diverse habitats, from hilltop headwaters to the protected estuary at Witty's Lagoon. To learn more, please visit: https://metchosinfoundation.ca/bilston-conservation-corridor-project/ (Our own Heloise is the narrator!) The Metchosin Foundation has already seen success with the creation of the Bilston Headwaters Nature Reserve as a first step in the Conservation Corridor Project. https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/chunk-of-creek-watershed-in-metchosin-to-become-a-nature-reserve-8684918 As part of the larger Conservation Corridor Project , Morgan presented a proposal is to develop a simple “Community Education & Engagement” hub, at the southern terminus of the Bilston Conservation Corridor. This would involve creating a short trail with interpretive signage. The form and scale of interpretive signage might be similar to that which has been developed for the memorial Garry Oak meadow restoration project located on the Metchosin municipal grounds, between the District office and the Farmers' Market. This was a first step and conversation. Parish Council has given their enthusiastic approval to explore this project further. The Foundation is in conversation with other potential partners in the corridor area. We will keep you updated as the project develops. |
