To Council and staff.
I ask you to consider sending a representative from View Royal to this Stewardship Roundtable on Aug 24th. The Roundtable is held in collaboration with “Bird Studies Canada, 27th International Ornithological Congress (IOC), and Vancouver International Bird Festival.”
Protection and recognition of the Bird Sanctuary in Portage Inlet is a policy supported by Council. This exercise is supported by many organizations including F.L.A.P. Canada and the Planning Institute of BC. If the Town’s planning staff workload is too great perhaps a volunteer from the planning advisory ctee. could be sponsored and report back to Council.
For more information and agenda follow the hyperlinks.
N.B. A severely declining BC Coastal Water bird Survey, Sea Level Rise precipitating “shoreline bird habitat squeeze” i,e, buffer compression, urban wildlife habitat loss, bird/building collision mitigation are all to be discussed.
Best Regards,
Doug Critchley.

The Stewardship Centre for BC and Bird Studies Canada, in collaboration with the 27th International Ornithological Congress (IOCongress 2018), the Vancouver International Bird Festival (VIBF 2018), and partners, are convening a Stewardship Roundtable 2018 on Friday, August 24 – a forum and showcase of innovative practices championed in our province and beyond. The Executive Director of ACT, Deborah Harford, will be assisting in the Climate Adaptation for Birds and Wildlife session.
The day will be devoted to learning and sharing ideas for action on pressing issues in ecological stewardship. Participants will hear how citizens, local governments, conservation organizations, and stewardship practitioners are meeting the challenges of sustaining environmental health in their communities. Panel presentations, World Café style discussions, storytelling, and networking will all contribute to the development of next step action plans on six theme topics.
- Climate adaption for birds and wildlife
- Cats and birds living in harmony
- Urban Habitat for Wildlife and Birds
