Fall Gathering
The KCP Fall Gathering & AGM serves as one of the primary venues to connect and re-connect KCP partners from across the region.
The 2020 KCP Fall Gathering & AGM took place October 2-3, 2020.
For 2020, the KCP Fall Gathering & AGM took a “hybrid” approach with a Virtual Conference using Zoom on Day 1, based on this year’s theme of “Conservation in a Time of Uncertainty: Adapting to Challenges”; and localized tours at 4 different sites across the Kootenays on Day 2, each in a different “Conservation Neighbourhood”: Kootenay Lake (Fish/Bear Lakes), Creston Valley (Yaqan Nukiy Wetlands), Columbia Valley (Galena Creek), and Elk Valley (Morrissey Meadows). The field tours were limited to a maximum of 12 participants in light of COVID-19 physical distancing measures.
The KCP Annual Fall Gathering is a wonderful opportunity to learn about conservation projects in the Kootenays, share knowledge and information, and network with other organizations in the region.
