History
The Qualicum Beach Streamkeepers Society was formed in December of 1995 in response to a presentation by biologist Dave Clough that stressed the importance of fish habitat and stream stewardship. In 1998 the Qualicum Streamkeepers became a charitable organization, and have a very dedicated group of volunteers who tirelessly maintain and enhance local rivers and streams.
Through the years the Society has overseen the stream mapping and assessment of the watercourses through Qualicum Beach. Based on the assessments the group undertook many restoration projects including removing major barriers to fish passage on Beach, Grandon, and Whiskey Creeks.
