F27 Meadow Creek Spawning Channel

This project supports ongoing operations, maintenance, and monitoring at the Meadow Creek Spawning Channel. The channel provides spawning habitat for Kootenay Lake kokanee.

BC Hydro funded construction of the spawning channel in 1967 to compensate for natural kokanee habitat lost due to the construction of Duncan Dam, and it continues to provide spawning habitat for Kootenay Lake kokanee.
