Watershed Governance Framework - complete! Carmen Pavlov April 8, 2026 Malahat Nation Lands and Environment department is pleased to announce the completion of the Watershed Governance Framework project! Malahat Nation Lands and Environment department worked alongside Dillon Consultants to create a Watershed Governance Framework. The Malahat Benchlands and Shawnigan Creek watersheds face pressures including population growth, unsustainable extraction from water bodies, overdevelopment, infrastructure deficits and issues, agriculture, forestry, and mining uses, and pollution. Through investigating governance models that are culturally appropriate and sustainable, Lands and Environment worked to develop a framework that helps guide the protection and restoration of Malahat's watersheds. Guiding principles that influenced this document include: long-term benefit to the Nation, respect for culture and customs, innovation, preservation and protection, ecosystem-based management, sustainability, cooperative relationships, self-sufficiency, and opportunities for Malahat members.
