A new recovery investment is aiming to restore watersheds and wetlands throughout B.C., which will also create about 750 jobs.

Through BC's Economic Recovery Plan, $27 million in stimulus funding has been dedicated to roughly 70 watershed and wetland initiatives.

Known as the Healthy Watersheds Initiative, it is part of B.C.'s $10-billion COVID-19 response, and is being administered by the Real Estate Foundation of BC with support from Watersheds BC.
 

One of the projects identified by Watersheds BC and scheduled for completion by December 2021 is managing water levels on the Endako River, which is about 160 km west of Prince George.

Every year in late summer, hundreds of chinook salmon and kokanee make their way to the Endako River to spawn.

Portions of the river, which flows into the Stellako River near Fraser Lake, have become increasingly low during the summer months, making it difficult for fish to access suitable spawning habitat.
