Environmental education is a vital component of fostering ecological awareness and stewardship among youth, particularly in Indigenous communities (FNESC 2022), like Tsay Keh Dene (TKD). Environmental Outreach Week sought to engage students in the Tsay Keh Dene School in experiential learning activities aimed at promoting conservation, sustainability, and cultural revitalization.

Chu Cho Environmental and TKD Nations (TKDN) Department of Education collaborated to facilitate the creation and delivery of this educational program in alignment with the goals of TKDNs Department of Lands, Resources, and Treaty Operation, and Department of Language and Culture, and the priority actions within the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) Peace Region Action Plans. This work aligned with Action 12 in the Peace Region Cross Ecosystem Action Plan: Conduct stewardship and education related to aquatic and terrestrial
conservation, which is included under Sub-Objective 5: build, maintain and improve relationships with Indigenous Nations and local stakeholders that support conservation and sustainable use projects in the FWCP Peace Region.
The construction of the W.A.C Bennett Dam and subsequent creation of the Williston Reservoir irreversibly
altered the territory of Tsay Keh Dene Nation, flooding over 170,000 hectares of riverine, riparian, and upland habitats in the Peace, Parsnip, and Finlay River valleys. This devastating disturbance had profound ecological and cultural impacts, documented in the documentary DONE YI INJETL - The Scattering of Man, directed by Tsay Keh Dene citizen Luke Gleeson. The Williston Reservoir, the largest reservoir in British Columbia and the seventh largest reservoir globally, flooded and bisected the Territory of Tsay Keh Dene Nation, resulting in significant habitat loss and alteration. This ecological disruption facilitated increased forestry activities, mineral exploration, and mining within the Territory, exacerbating habitat loss and impacting wildlife populations, including at least 15 at-risk species, and species significant to TKD culture and subsistence.
