Aging structures
Aging dikes and water control structures originally intended to manage water levels for wetlands and waterfowl habitats are under review by community stakeholders seeking renewed restoration.
Hydroelectrics Dams
Upstream dams alter water flow and nutrient delivery, disrupting natural and cultural water cycles. Treaty rights are not being fully represented, and Indigenous communities have been excluded from decision-making.
Agricultural Runoff, Urban Pollution and Climate Change.
Agricultural Runoff, Urban Pollution and Climate Change.
Large-scale irrigation projects upstream benefit only a small number of farms while ignoring downstream impacts. A $4 billion irrigation project is underway with minimal transparency and provincial government engagement.
Invasive Species
Species such as Phragmites are displacing native vegetation and altering ecosystems. These species spread easily through seeds and rhizomes, requiring long-term, integrated management.
