What did you learn from this workshop? What will you do with what you learned? 
  • I learned how to use the Guidebook and about some of the resources available for First Nations that want to make watershed plans.
  • I've learned what watershed meant, and what's it's all about. Coming into the initial workshop, I had no idea what it was. I plan to incorporate this information into our Community's Land Use and Occupancy project.
  • The process requires time, partnerships, funding and dedication. Be prepared for a long haul. I will promote the idea of watershed planning and the idea of First Nations to be actively involved with CDs.
  • The process of watershed planning and how to work with First Nations.

What are three things you liked about the workshop? Why? 
  • Organized approach to the various segments of planning; Very relative to First Nations; A practical guide for First Nations
  • The chance to meet other watershed planners was great. To learn from others in the workshop was helpful. I liked to learn about CIER's work across Canada.
  • The location, the presenters being women, since they take care of water.
  • Books - gives me something to refer to in the next steps interaction - small setting allowed for more interaction with the group
  • 1. The activities because we get to do something for ourselves 2. The presentation was clear and simple 3. The presenter was loud and clear.
  • The group discussions and learning from other peoples' and organizations' experiences. It was useful to hear from other community's experience. The collage activity was very useful as well.
