The Morrison Creek Streamkeepers, a group of watershed residents and community members dedicated to preserving, restoring, and promoting public awareness of the Morrison Creek watershed, is holding a fundraiser this weekend.

A silent auction - and live music – will take place Saturday, December3.

The fundraiser is for the Comox Valley Land Trust’s project, in partnership with other funders, to purchase the Morrison Creek Headwaters area for conservation.

This 289 hectare (715 acres) area is vital to the continued health of Comox Valley salmon stocks, the wildlife that relies on salmon, and the endangered Morrison Creek Lamprey, a population of the Western Brook Lamprey found nowhere else on the planet.

The event is being held from 2-530pm tomorrow at St John the Divine Angligcan Church, on 5th St. In Courtenay.

Everyone interested in Morrison Creek, a true treasure of Courtenay and the Comox Valley, is encouraged to drop in.
