SUMMARY:Growing Pains: re-using dredged sediment for coastal marsh resilience and flood protection in the Fraser River Delta\, British Columbia
DESCRIPTION:Free Wetland Knowledge Exchange Webinar. \nThese free webinars are part of the Wetland Knowledge Exchange’s monthly webinar series. The Wetland Knowledge Exchange is the official newsletter\, webinar series\, and social media account of the CCLM Wetland Knowledge Portal (WKP). The Wetland Knowledge Exchange aims to amplify the voice of the WKP to help increase information sharing and foster collaboration amongst diverse stakeholders interested in wetland management\, conservation and reclamation. \nGrowing Pains: re-using dredged sediment for coastal marsh resilience and flood protection in the Fraser River Delta\, British Columbia \nEric Balke\, MSc \nDucks Unlimited Canada \nThe Fraser River Delta is a Ramsar wetland of international importance and contains the largest estuary meeting the west coast of Canada. European settlement has extensively modified this low-lying delta\, including the construction of a vast network of riverine and coastal dikes to protect communities and livelihoods from flooding. While local governments are making plans to protect their communities from sea-level rise\, there is no plan to support ecological resilience of tidal ecosystems outside the dike. Each year approximately 2 million cubic metres of sediment are dredged from the river and disposed at sea – more than anywhere else in Canada – however two projects seek to demonstrate cost-effective approaches to locally re-use dredged sediment to support ecological and flood projection objectives. Through the Sturgeon Bank Sediment Enhancement Pilot Project and the Boundary Bay Living Dike Project\, ENGOs\, First Nations\, and all levels of government are working together to test and evaluate two locally-designed\, innovative\, nature-based solutions to support tidal marsh ecological resilience and coastal flood protection. Eric Balke will describe and provide a progress update for these two innovative pilot projects in progress\, and frame these initiatives within the broader context of the need for a paradigm shift with our relationship with sediment and begin working toward a roadmap for beneficial reuse of dredge in the Fraser River Delta.

SUMMARY:Partnerships for Wetlands: A Case Study from Lac La Biche County
DESCRIPTION:Partnerships for Wetlands: A Case Study from Lac La Biche County \nJulia Shapka \nLac La Biche County \nWetlands play a critical role in Alberta’s landscapes\, yet many have been lost in settled areas. Alberta’s Wetland Replacement Program (WRP) offers an important opportunity for municipalities to restore and construct wetlands while enhancing local ecosystems and communities. \nThis presentation will showcase Lac La Biche County’s Bold Centre WRP Project — a unique initiative funded by three different sources and located at the heart of the community\, adjacent to a multiplex\, high school\, and library. The project brought together diverse partners in a collaborative effort to create a new wetland that serves both ecological and educational purposes. \nThe presentation will highlight the requirements of each funding source\, construction activities\, and the progression of the wetland since construction\, illustrated with photos and project milestones. It will also cover workshops hosted on-site\, challenges encountered\, and solutions developed\, and key recommendations for other municipalities interested in pursuing similar projects. \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PST / 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm MST
