In partnership with MakeWay Charitable Society, Resilient Waters and the Leq’a:mel First Nation, the project in North Nicomen Slough will complete a soft restoration of the area that will improve the habitat quality and fish access between two lakes, Joe’s Lake and Back Lake. A newly constructed, fish-friendly floodgate enhances fish access, closing only during periods of heightened flood risk. The project will include additional work to automate the floodgate, and replace a culvert to provide reliable flood protection for Leq’amel First Nation and the local community.
