"Throughout this work, the Ebbwater and HeronBridge team has demonstrated their ability to adapt and pivot as the project has evolved, while remaining committed to best practices and advancing the work in a thoughtful and collaborative way. They have brought leadership in a rapidly evolving field, worked closely with CVRD staff and helped build capacity for the region’s long-term resilience. " - Robyn Holme, Manager of Long Range Planning and Sustainability, Comox Valley Regional District
