The Organization The Bay Area Restoration Council (BARC) is a registered charitable non-profit organization formed in 1991 to represent the public interest in the restoration of Hamilton Harbour and its watershed. BARC envisions a thriving, healthy and accessible Harbour for all. We lead and engage in collective action to realize that vision through education and collaboration. Our main priorities are to educate and increase public awareness and understanding to improve the Hamilton Harbour community’s relationship with water; to engage the community to take action, steward water and foster sustainability for generations to come; and to advance initiatives, collaboration and systems change in the governance and management of the Hamilton Harbour watershed.
