Grant applications under review
Our 2026 annual grant intake is now closed, and we’re reviewing grant applications for fish and wildlife projects in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams.
Funded by BC Hydro
BC Hydro has water licence obligations in our Columbia and Peace regions, and has made voluntary commitments in our Coastal Region, to compensate for the “footprint” impacts associated with reservoirs behind dams.
BC Hydro funds FWCP annually to fulfill the applicable water licence and voluntary commitments.
~$12 million approved for compensation projects
Our three regional boards approved approximately $9.7 million for 77 fish and wildlife projects to be delivered in 2026—2027 in our Coastal, Columbia, and Peace regions.
Our boards also approved another $2.3 million for First Nations directed projects in our Columbia and Peace regions, and our year-round land securement, seed, and community engagement grants.
