WE'RE BACK!
As promised, we've returned and are as eager as ever to get back out into the Red Hill watershed! As we work to reconnect with our volunteers and plan new training opportunities, you can catch us in the meantime at the Hamilton Children's Water Festival. Here we'll be running 3 days worth of workshops to Grade 4's throughout the city. The focus: creek critters and creek health. It should be a creepy, crawley, and educational good time!

Pipewatch Takes a Winter Break
Due to an unfortunate program funding gap, Pipewatch is taking a temporary hiatus and is expected to return in Spring 2013. What does that mean? Essentially we will need to put a hold on all workshops and trainings for the next few months (which isn't the worst thing given the frigid winter weather!). We'll return in May 2013 with a new set of activities and opportunities for resident involvement.
In the meantime, we still encourage volunteers to visit their pipes on a regular basis and continue to record any instances of fowl odor, sanitary debris, and unexplained flow (aka, pipes that are flowing when there has been no rain/snow). Environment Hamilton is still happy to receive any and all reports and is happy to field any questions about the program and specific pipes. So don't hesitate to give us a shout at 905-549-0900!
Happy Winter and see you all soon!

COMMUNITY FORUM A GREAT SUCCESS!
We would just like to take a moment to thank the 50+ people who made it out to the Community Forum last night. A lot of great discussion was had and some good ideas were put forth. Let's keep this momentum going and continue to watch those pipes!
For those who missed the meeting, here are some materials of interest:
