2009 Creek Cleanup Registration.

Welcome to the online registration for the 2009 Vernon Creek Cleanup Initiative!
Through the North Okanagan Resource/Habitat Atlas (NORHA) you will be able to choose which section of the BX, Vernon or Coldstream Creeks you or your group would be most suited to revitalize. You can also use this registration as an opportunity to learn more about the beautiful waterways that flow through our community by exploring some of the ecosystem information in the NORHA mapping program.

Please choose from the list of river sections or "reaches" below to determine which will be most appropriate for the size and capabilities of your group. When you have decided which reach is best for your group, choose the "Register for this reach" option next to section of your choice.

Please keep in mind, some sections may have difficult terrain or other considerations to consider, so we strongly encourage all groups to visit the site before registering to be completely sure that your group will be capable of cleaning the section of river.
