Working to Protect
Peachland’s Water Source
We are part of a global movement that understands water is precious and deserves our respect and protection.
We gratefully acknowledge this land is the unceded traditional territory of the Okanagan syilx people.
Peachland’s Water is Finite & Precious
Snow-melt from the hills above Peachland provides all the town’s water, for wildlife, agriculture and drinking. This is area is our watershed. It is experiencing multiple threats and is in danger of collapse. A protected watershed with a secure water source is our goal.
Our Ten Point Plan to Protect
our Watershed:
When it comes to fresh water, there is no substitute – there is no plan B. Nothing can replace water .
The syilx Okanagan people have been living on this land for thousands of years and have learned how to respect Water. It is a relation, a relative, to be taken care of, honoured and nurtured.
Our Plan is inspired by this syilx traditional knowledge regarding water, envisions righting the wrongs of colonial commerce and details the steps needed to protect the land that gives us water – our watershed.
