High Level Bridge Lights Up for Watersheds

Posted October 21, 2014 by LSC

For anyone who will be in the Edmonton river valley on the evening of October 21, check out the High Level Bridge. It will be lit up with blue, green and white lights in celebration of watersheds.

This coincides with the three-day Watershed Planning and Advisory Council (WPAC) Summit being held at the Old Timer’s Cabin on Scona Road.

If you are able to take photos of the bridge that night we would love to see the pictures!
