Plan with representatives from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, B.C. Ministry of
Environment, B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, District of North Cowichan, Nature
Conservancy Canada, other stakeholder groups and watershed residents. In addition,

¾ A description of the watershed drawn from the many studies and materials
available
¾ One Vision, five Goals, fifteen Objectives and fifty-five Actions to respond to the
deteriorating health of Quamichan Lake from within a watershed perspective

Management Plan
