Water Stewardship started as a project of Heron Rocks Friendship Centre Society and became a Committee of the Hornby Island Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association in December 2023.
The dedicated volunteers and part-time staff work on water-related projects with a clear objective: “strive to ensure the quantity and quality of water for Hornby Island, both in the short and long-term.”
