This year’s CRCAG Annual General Meeting has been scheduled for Monday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m.

As usual, we will have speakers scheduled to bring you up to speed on key flood-related initiatives for both the Elbow and Bow Rivers.

Although much work still lies ahead for the Bow, this event is an opportunity to socialize and collectively celebrate the operational status of Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir (SR1). We’re proud of the long road we’ve all walked together to achieve this milestone project, and hope to thank you all in person and celebrate this achievement together. Come share the evening with us!

Bow River Reservoir Options (BRRO) project
