Ac the request of Fisheries and Oceans
Canada and the Mosquito Creek Stewardship
Society, the City Council is considering adding eleven
vacant, City-owned lots to Mosquito Creek Park to
enable a creek-side channel to be created. This channel
would be built to the west of the existing creek and east of Feil Avenue
between West 2!st and West 17th street. The new crzek channel would be designed to provide refuge and habicat

for various types of trout and salmon, away from the faster flowing Mosquito Creek main channel which has lost much
of its habitat supporting characteristics through various fiood prevention changes over the years. In addition to contributing

all of the land, the City expects to support this initiative financially and on an ongoing basis through special park

maintenance standards. For more information on this initiative, please contact City Parks and Environment at 985-7761.
