At the March 22 qathet Regional District board meeting, directors decided that a letter of support will be sent to Powell River Salmon Society in relation to the organization’s grant applications for the salmon enhancement program.
The salmon society is applying for funds for three projects, including the Duck Lake futures project, which will allow the society to more safely and efficiently feed 240,000 chinook fry per year.
The resiliency project includes fish transport upgrades, assessment centre office upgrades, public solicitation infrastructure and communications devices. The third component is an environmental and education technology program to upgrade the education computer to increase the quality of livestream and education materials.
