Happy World Rivers Day 2024
“World Rivers Day is a celebration of the world’s waterways. It highlights the many values of our rivers, strives to increase public awareness and encourages the improved stewardship of all rivers around the world,” states the World Rivers Day website.
At Rio Tinto BC Works, our operations depend on the Nechako watershed and to ensure we are continuously improving stewardship, we are working with stakeholders in BC through the Water Engagement Initiative, Community Leaders meetings, and through engagement with community groups, local stewardship groups, First Nations and all levels of government.
We are also learning from the research being done by UNBC on climate change and its impact on the Nechako River. Through these various initiatives, we aim to increase public awareness, improve stewardship, improve habitat conditions and engage with communities on the overall health of the Nechako River.
Here are some resources to learn more about the work being done in the Nechako Watershed by various community groups.
