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.
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.
New funding priorities
Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback on draft funding priorities.
When final in 2027, the new funding priorities will guide future funding decisions for compensation projects.
~$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 $2.3 million which will be allocated throughout the year to directed projects and year-round grants.
