Clayburn Creek Fish Habitat Improvement Project
The City of Abbotsford is working to provide more fish habitat in the Clayburn Creek watershed that includes restoration of side-channel habitat and adding new channel enhancements at two locations. The goal is to create side-channel areas, which will provide rearing habitat, and some limited spawning habitat.
The fish habitat improvement work will be completed by Skylark Development Corp. and overseen by the City’s design / environmental consultant and by First Nations archaeological monitors.
Any updates to this project will be posted on this webpage. We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation during this project.
Working with regulators to extend and / or amend permitting and to define what can be repaired and where new habitat works are needed instead. Work window for construction to be August to September 2025.
This project was completed in September 2021 but the recent flooding resulted in sediment deposits. Next step is to determine if portions of the damaged works can be re-instated or if another location is needed. Work planned for construction window of August - September 2024
