Hello everyone,

We wanted to share a quick update from the Municipality of North Cowichan regarding Snipe Pond at Heritage Park.

Maintenance work will begin with minor site prep the week of April 27, with contractor work taking place in early May and expected to be completed before the Victoria Day long weekend (weather dependent).

The park will remain open during this time, and any disruption is expected to be minimal. This work is being done to address water leakage and maintain the feature.🌿
