Comox has been awarded Intermediate Bird Friendly Certification level by Nature Canada, validating the efforts put forth by the Town Council and the many environmental and conservation groups to transform the Vancouver Island community.

“The Town of Comox is proud of the work of the local bird friendly volunteer team. They have made it possible to achieve bird friendly certification and contribute further to our ecosystem protection,” said Comox Mayor Nicole Minions. “This intermediate certification from Nature Canada is another way that Comox is being recognized for conservation and ties in perfectly with our other designations of being bat and bee friendly. It’s the small but meaningful actions that have proven to be effective and that we can proudly stand behind collectively”.

The volunteer Bird Friendly team will continue to strive for ongoing improvement to ensure a healthy, safe environment for Comox’s feathered friends and the residents of the community. Their Intermediate Bird Friendly Application found here, demonstrates this commitment.
