How You Can Help

“What your father can hardly remember, you will not miss. What
you now take for granted, or is slowly disappearing, your children,
not having known, cannot lament.” - Kavlosky

A small frogDespite the fact that the Cape Roger Curtis lands have been purchased by developers it is not too late for concerned citizens to make a difference. Over the next six to nine months a Citizen’s Advisory committee appointed by and reporting to the Bowen Island Council will be studying development plans and ideas for the property. We hope and expect that the Cape Roger Curtis Trust Society will have a representative on the Advisory Committee.

It is important that, while the future of the property is being considered, we continue to inform our members and the public about what is happening and we continue to be advocates for the land and for continued public access.

Here is how you can help…

Become a Member

We have about 300 members now but we need more so that we can show that we have a wide range of community backing. This is critical in order to show strong community support for conservation alternatives in discussions with politicians, the developer, advisory bodies, etc.

Becoming a member gives you a voice in decision-making and you can help direct the Cape Roger Curtis Trust Society at general meetings. It is also your statement that you care for the preservation of a spectacular and ecologically unique part of our planet.
