Bowen Island –Patrick Weiler, Member of Parliament for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs, and His Worship Andrew Leonard, Mayor of Bowen Island, announced a joint investment of more than $2.1 million to improve drinking water infrastructure on Bowen Island.
This investment will enable the connection of the existing Eagle Cliff Water System to the Cove Bay Water System, as well as the replacement of culverts, the installation of new fire hydrants and service connections, and approximately 1,300 m of watermain to connect the two systems.
These improvements will ensure that Bowen Island residents serviced by the Eagle Cliff and Cove Bay water systems have access to high quality drinking water for years to come. By investing in infrastructure, the Government of Canada is growing our country’s economy, building resilient communities, and improving the lives of Canadians.
“I recognize Bowen Island is a small but mighty community that serves as a popular tourist destination for people looking to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. By connecting water systems at Eagle Cliff and Cove Bay, my ministry is helping to ensure residents and tourists have clean drinking water while also helping to preserve this beautiful island for all to enjoy.” – Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs
