#ColquitzRiver had flooded out but has now receded. It will likely flood again because more rains are expected this week.

Colquitz River. In Summer.
As seen from the footbridge in Cuthbert Holmes, a Saanich municipal park. Colquitz Creek/River is an important local salmon bearing waterway. It is part of a protected watershed system that includes Craigflower Creek. Both feed out into Portage Inlet & the Gorge Waterway.

At the #estuary area - it's still undergoing a lot of restoration & rewilding work.

The waters were so calm this afternoon. It was like glass. The beautiful #ColquitzRiver is part of our local essential #watersheds / #waterways. It is a fish bearing, salmon bearing local #river.
