Through community consultation this report examines
habitat restoration priorities of the A-Tlegay member nations with respect to proposed projects
within the Campbell system and provides a means to align future projects to these priorities. First
Nations habitat restoration priorities were examined based on habitat type, target species, and
location.

This project is the result of collaboration between A-Tlegay Fisheries Society (A-Tlegay) and
Ecofish Research Ltd (Ecofish). The project team received FWCP funding to collate existing and
completed habitat restoration projects within the Campbell River system to use as a basis in the
preparation of a comprehensive restoration plan. This report summarizes the results of that
FWCP project (COA-F17-F-1193). Through community consultation this report examines
habitat restoration priorities of the A-Tlegay member nations with respect to proposed projects
within the Campbell system and provides a means to align future projects to these priorities. First
Nations habitat restoration priorities were examined based on habitat type, target species, and
location. Priorities were measured using an online survey as well as in-person interviews. A total
of 62 respondents completed the survey. Priority ratings were developed for the proposed
projects based on the survey results. Proposed projects were then prioritized based on survey
results, technical feasibility, cost, and other project components. A matrix was created to
summarize and rank each of the proposed restoration options. The matrix can be used to evaluate
future proposals for their alignment to First Nations interests. Our project found that most of the
high-ranking projects had already been completed leaving a gap in feasible future projects. This
gap led us to propose projects of our own and analyze them using the matrix. Using the matrix, a
proposal to identify specific restoration projects in the Quinsam River was selected.
We identified a project that ranks high in terms of First Nations priorities and is identified as a
priority 1 action in the FWCP actions table. Therefore, in 2017 we will propose to develop a
restoration plan for the Quinsam River identifying specific restoration options focusing on
anadromous species. This meets the Action Item identified in the Campbell River Salmonid
Action Plan which was to Assess restoration opportunities in the Quinsam watershed for Coho
and Chinook. Actions would likely also benefit pink salmon and other species.
