Michipicoten First Nation

Published purpose

The project will rehabilitate and increase the resiliency of an approximately 200m long section of Whitesands creek by replacing 2 damaged culverts of approximately 30 m in length to withstand a major water event, increase water quality to the community and allow for fish passage. The project will stabilize the stream banks by adding gabions and a variety of plants based on root structure and bank stabilization strength; wildlife habitat and food source quality; contribution to canopy cover and cultural significance. They will add design elements such as a viewing deck which will strengthen the connection between the creek, children’s playground and open spaces and will also install educational signage.
