Building Community in the time of COVID-19: Communications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For any community-based non-profit organization, the operative word is COMMUNITY. It\u2019s hard to build community with COVID-19 precautions. However, PWPA has an arsenal of tools available to maintain contact and engage with all of you. This newsletter is but one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably also know all about the Zoom meetings, which have replaced our wonderful get togethers at the Little School House. But did you also know we have a roster of social media platforms to keep you up to date as well. You can comment, share your thoughts, ask questions and join in online discussions on all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facebook is the most used platform and many of you may already have facebook accounts for keeping in touch with family. PWPA post<\/p>\n\n\n

Facebook is the most used platform and many of you may already have Facebook accounts for keeping in touch with family. PWPA posts on Facebook at least once a day with information on what\u2019s going on in BC with respect to watersheds, and their threats. We also post updates on our projects as well as government policies, regulations, and events (federal, provincial and local) that are germane to watershed protection and ecosystem health.\u00a0 Please visit us on Facebook, LIKE an Follow us, and do comment or ask questions.\u00a0 PWPA on Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

PWPA also has an Instagram (IG) account which has been dormant for a year or so, but we have recently started posting there again. Instagram is about photos and stories. If you don\u2019t care for the drama that sometimes breaks out of Facebook, you\u2019ll find IG a much more sensible and \u201cgenteel\u201d platform.\u00a0 Photos are front and centre on Instagram, and groups of photos become stories \u2013 annotated slideshows that go into more depth that a single photo can.\u00a0 You can also comment and ask questions.\u00a0 Instagram.com\/peachlandwpa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Finally we also have a Twitter account used mainly for reaching elected officials, corporations and public figures, although many of us \u201cregular folks\u201d are on Twitter to get our news or to learn of breaking updates around the world.\u00a0 Twitter.com\/peachlandwpa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Stay Engaged in the COVID environment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to engage with others in the community about PWPA projects and activities, as well as the PWPA team, Facebook is where you want to be.

And if you just need a short (really short) synopsis of PWPA activities Twitter is for you.
