Wheatley River Improvement Group

The Wheatley River Improvement Group (WRIG) was formed in the late 1990’s by residents of the Wheatley River area who were concerned about the health of their watershed. The group became incorporated as a Non Profit Agency in 2004. Our primary purpose is to restore and protect the environmental quality of six watersheds along the North Shore of Queens County, PEI: The Wheatley River, Cymbria, Chapel Creek, Oyster Bed Bridge, Horne's Creek, and Luke’s Creek Watersheds, which total 88 square kilometres and drain into the Rustico Bay. Our vision is for a watershed in which the soil, forests, and water are healthy and supportive of a rich diversity of aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals, where farmers and fishers are able to make a living for generations to come, and where all residents have access to clean, healthy water.
