The Dillon Creek restoration project is coming to a close and is celebrating with a event that includes the premier of a documentary film about the project.

Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) and Linnaea Farm are hosting the Dillon Creek Wetland Restoration Community Celebration Friday to showcase the two-year community led wetland restoration project that was implemented to mitigate nutrient inputs to Hague and Gunflint lakes, and to provide critical habitat for wildlife.

Miranda Cross, Dillon Creek wetlands Project Manager, said she hopes people come out to "learn about the project success and next steps."

Local filmmaker Beatrix Baxter spoke about her documentary film focused on the project in an interview with CKTZ.

"The purpose of the film was to create a really wonderful record of this community initiative that unfolded over two years. We wanted to let everybody remember the story of this restoration project and inspire other projects like it," said Baxter.

Schedule of events for the Friday, March 31 event at Linnaea Farm Education Centre:

4:30-5:30 p.m. Wetland tour led by Miranda Cross
6-7 p.m. Community potluck
7-7:30 p.m. Dillon Creek Wetlands Project Documentary film screening
