In Qualicum Bay, a community-driven project is restoring an important creek for spawning salmon and it has been funded entirely by one man.
In small Vancouver Island communities like Qualicum Bay, neighbours depend on one another in times of need.“It’s a community-driven project,” said John Hessels of Lewkowich Engineering, the designer of the project.Qualicum Bay resident Richard Goldney planned and paid for the project that will help both his human neighbours from flooding and the salmon that have historically spawned there until it became clogged years ago.
The Qualicum Bay man learned that there were solutions for Nash Creek, but that they had never been funded. He said that after hearing neighbours’ nightmare stories of flooding, he decided enough was enough. “The primary goal of this project was to allow for fish passage and to stop the flooding of the neighbours,” said Lewkowich. “So as soon as it starts raining and the high tides come, the fish will be able to go upstream and spawn per usual.
