Agreement Value:
$331,829.00
Agreement Date:
Nov 20, 2024 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
The construction of the W.A.C. Bennett dam and resulting Williston Reservoir irreversibly impacted Tsay Keh Dene Nation (TKDN) territory, resulting in the loss of significant wetland areas, altered habitat and displaced species and has impaired ability to provide essential ecosystem services and wildlife habitat. This project will enhance four wetlands as well as construct a wetland park including an interpretative trail to increase access for Tsay Keh Dene Nation citizens for recreation and cultural purposes. Interpretative signs in both English and Sekani language will also support the revitalization and preservation of Tsay Keh Dene Culture and Language in the community.
