Who is the OWC?

The Oldman Watershed Council, or OWC, is a
community-based, not-for-profit that works with
everyone to find practical solutions to environmental
challenges that impact us all. People depend on a
healthy environment but we also need a healthy
economy and we have social and cultural needs too.
Everything is connected so we must work together
to make trade-offs, solve problems, plan for the
future and have the quality of life we want right now.

It takes time and effort to work collaboratively but
OWC is building a new way of managing our water
and land where we all do our part, work together and
think long term. We believe it's worth the investment.

Film Project Launch Update

We are pleased to announce Frog Wash (https://oldmanbasin.org/) as our newest Collaborative Partner. We are excited about the upcoming scripting with them for their 3 videos.

We have a good start on footage at this stage - especially with the event footage from the Film Project Launch in November. We were hoping to have the trailer for the film out now, but we ran into an unexpected surprise!

Apparently, the TV stations are emptying their archives. What does this mean? It means historical footage has been deleted. It means the Oldman can't access much of the material we need not only for the trailer, but for the film itself. Our team is busy contacting provincial archives and CBC to see where appropriate material can be found.

On the upside, we are putting together a winter filming schedule with select locations. We hope to capture some spectacular shots of the watershed and also select some prime locations for summertime footage.

We really appreciate you using #oldmangoestohollywood and helping us spread the word about our work together!
