An update on next steps following May 26 sewer leak:

Water quality testing and modelling, along with an investigation into the May 26 sewer leak are continuing, with the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) anticipating an update on the estuary’s water safety by the end of this week.

The CVRD has been completing extensive water quality testing since the day of the event, focusing first on the immediate harbour area around the leak, and then expanding to further offshore and recreational beach areas.

Modelling is underway to understand how the contaminated water is moving. The results of these dispersion models will guide CVRD advisories about water use and are expected by end of week (June 5).

The cause of the leak is currently under investigation. More information will be shared with the community when available, however, there is no current time estimate for those results to be available.

Welcome, Cade, to the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Association!

We are excited to welcome our summer student to the team at Filberg Park!

Thanks to the support of the Young Canada Works in Heritage Organizations program, we were able to hire a student for the summer season. This opportunity helps provide valuable hands-on experience while supporting the ongoing work of preserving and celebrating the heritage, Lodge, and beauty of Filberg Park.

An introduction from our Summer Student -
I’m Cade! I’m 23 years old and from Comox, BC. I wanted to work at Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Association because I’ve always enjoyed being involved in the community and meeting new people. Growing up in Comox, Filberg has always been a place I’ve known about and appreciated, so the opportunity to work there felt meaningful to me. As a social work student at the University of Victoria, I’m hoping to expand my knowledge of community work while building stronger communication and relationship-building skills.

Outside of school and work, some of my hobbies include baseball, football, board games, and drumming. I enjoy activities that involve teamwork and connecting with others, which is one reason this role stood out to me. I also enjoy spending time outdoors and learning more about local history and community spaces. Overall, I saw Filberg as a great opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
