Nlux¿lux¿¿cwix (Lower Trout Creek) Re-naturalization

FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-06

Summary
Trout Creek’s lower 2km was narrowed, channelized, and developed in the 1940s & 1970s which has created ongoing water quality issues. This project will restore the natural form and function of the lower 2km, including floodplain re-engagement, riparian forest restoration, bank full channel width widening, and restoring mainstem structure. Construction is phased across years due to its size. This phase will excavate a remaining area (approx. 350m length) for channel widening and floodplain setback, restore riparian forest habitat (approx. 10,000m2 of 11,050m2 total), install 3 remaining new bury riffles and restore trails linked to Sun-Oka Park.

Description (French)
Les 2 km inférieurs de Trout Creek ont ¿¿été rétrécis, canalisés et aménagés dans les années 1940 et 1970, ce qui a créé des problèmes persistants de qualité de l'eau. Ce projet restaurera la forme et la fonction naturelles des 2 km inférieurs, y compris le réengagement des plaines inondables, la restauration des forêts riveraines, l'élargissement de la largeur totale du chenal et la restauration de la structure du tronçon principal. La construction est échelonnée sur plusieurs années en raison de sa taille. Cette phase permettra d'excaver une zone restante (environ 350 m de longueur) pour l'élargissement du chenal et le recul de la plaine inondable, restaurer l'habitat forestier riverain (environ 10 000 m2 sur 11 050 m2 au total), installer 3 radiers Newbury restants et restaurer les sentiers liés au parc Sun-Oka.
