Stormwater is one of the greatest threats to stream and coastal health. As heavy rainfall washes over roads, roofs, and parking lots, it carries all of our pollutants directly into local creeks and the Salish Sea, harming fish, wildlife, and impacting water quality. As climate change intensifies, this issue becomes only more important, and coastal communities need to be ready.

Join us as we bring change makers and communities together to understand the problem, share solutions, and take meaningful action toward healthier watersheds and oceans so we can build healthier, more resilient communities amid urban growth and climate change!

Did you know that urban runoff and combined sewer overflows are among the largest contributors of pollution to waterways? Urban and industrial development has removed natural vegetation around səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).

Now, rainwater is directed into pipes, ending at 400 stormwater outfalls and 28 combined sewer overflow outfalls that carry untreated stormwater, sewage, and toxins directly into səlilwət.

Dropped by the Capilano Mall rain garden to check in after heavy rains last night. No standing water! I did a little maintenance but still need to do a fall clean up. A local dropped by to let me know she had seen a river otter eating a salmon in MacKay Creek just across the street! ❤️ 🐟 🦦

Lovely article about a new rain garden in the City of Vancouver. While rain gardens aren’t meant to accommodate massive rainstorms, they can definitely help out!

With increasingly large deluges of rainfall that overwhelm stormwater systems, we need climate adapted infrastructure. Rain gardens can are part of the response, adding buffers for the stormwater system while supporting biodiversity and improving water quality. I love this!

Raingardens can have an effective role in mitigating stormwater pollution. Follow the WCEL link below to learn more about stormwater and the stormwater jurisdiction dilemma!

Urban pollution is killing salmon and hurting local waters. Who is responsible?
