Bertrand Creek has been a topic of conversation over the past few days, especially in regards to water quality. Today we are recognizing the work that was undertaken by the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society - BCES in the 1990s to clean and improve the creek's path through the downtown core, including through Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park, where your #communitymuseum is located.
The landscape certainly looked much different 30 years ago. The photos on the second page were taken in 1994 and show the partnership between the Aldergrove Kinsmen, Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society and Alder Grove Heritage Society in cleaning and landscaping along the creek as well as building Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park. You can see in the inset photo from Google Street how much ground has been lost since the museum's official opening.
