This project was unique in that standard measures of project success such as completed on budget and on time, although important, needed to be considered along with the direct involvement of Kwantlen, through Seyem’Qwantlen Business Group, and the fact that land was to be repaired and returned to Kwantlen.

This is truly an excellent, challenging and successful project and a source of pride for all involved. The process of developing the joint venture and securing multiple phases of remedial/restoration work at the site has not only enabled Kwantlen FN to take back control of their land, but also allowed them to play an integral role in the remediation / restoration process. Kwantlen FN has been involved in all aspects of the project, all with an eye to future sustainable site development. This project has enabled Kwantlen FN to honor their land by repairing the damage that was done to it, and through projects like Fraser Cedar, Kwantlen FN is working to build strong environmental governance of their lands.

The project was undertaken in four distinct phases:

1. Remedial Excavation / Backfill / Water Treatment
2. Slope Stabilization
3. Water based Demolition
4. Foreshore Sediment Removal / Remediation

This project was shortlisted for a BC EMA award in 2018.
