Plans for a new wetland interpretive centre to replace the current facility in Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area marsh are moving forward, said Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks. For more than a year, a committee chaired by Binks has been working to shape a new future for one of the Creston Valley’s most valuable resources. Having defined the mission of a new interpretive centre as needing “to promote knowledge and foster appreciation of Columbia Basin history, Ktunaxa culture teachings and wetland ecology,” the committee worked through a consultation process that included area residents and stakeholders, including the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, Ducks Unlimited Canada, local governments, Columbia Basin Trust, First Nations, Creston Community Forest, Wildsight and Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. “It was important to me to get full representation from all interest groups and the general public,” Binks said. “I wanted to be sure we all had a voice in the outcome.” SEE CENTRE, PAGE 5
