RE: 2025 Grant in Aid - Portage Inlet Marsh Restoration

Dear Mayor Tobias & Council;

Thank you so much for your generous donation of $5000.00. Your continued support demonstrates a deep commitment to preserving and protecting our vital freshwater resources, unique habitats and wildlife.

We work with many dedicated volunteers and community members to maintain and improve freshwater and near-shore marine ecosystems in Greater Victoria. Your donation will help support a number of projects and programs including water quality monitoring, stream and riparian area restoration, invasive species removal and stream/beach stewardship group support. These activities have far-reaching benefits to the environment and communities of Greater Victoria, and it is only with your support that we are able to continue these efforts.

Again, we thank you for your contribution towards the protection and improvement of our local ecosystems!

Yours sincerely,

Kyle Armstrong, MSc, CERP Executive Director
