2007 - Heywood Park Invasive Species Removal

MacKay Creek Diversion Project: Final Report - From August to September 2006, the outlet of MacKay Creek was relocated eastward, from the northeast corner of Vancouver Shipyards boat basin, back to its historic location of MacKay Creek Eastern channel. To offset the fish habitat impacts associated with this relocation project, new fish habitat was developed, the majority of which took advantage of the former channel alignment, transforming it into a side channel. An extensive riparian planting program was also carried out with invasive weed species replaced by native vegetation.
