The study area was divided into four separate reaches to accommodate a given day of tracking to each portion of the study area. A VR 100 VEMCO receiver and VH 110 hydrophone were used to gather information on habitat utilization, migration distances, and locations of possible congregations of these endangered populations of sturgeon. The bulk of the sampling was done weekly during the months of November and January (1 day in December), to identify possible shifts in habitat use and congregation locations between the seasons, as this has yet to be fully understood for the Fraser river sturgeon population. In addition to detecting sturgeon locations the water depths at detection locations and water temperatures were also recorded during the sampling days.

This study took place from October 2017 to March 2018 from Fort Langley to Mission, British Columbia, Canada. We traversed along a 21-kilometer section of the river by boat while utilizing a VEMCO VR100 hydroacoustic monitoring receiver with an attached omni-directional hydrophone. The hydrophone was suspended into the water and received signals from any tagged White Sturgeon signal within a 500-meter radius. A total of 19 previously-tagged White Sturgeon were observed during the period of the study. A majority of these individuals were located within the two known overwintering sites currently designated by COSEWIC including the mouth of the Stave River and the side channel adjacent to Matsqui Island (Matsqui Slough).

  • “So That's How I Remember It”: the Geography of Memory at Matsqui Main Indian Reser
    Ethnohistory Field School Report 2015 “So that’s how I remember it”: The Geography of Memory at Matsqui Main Indian Reserve No. 2 Jesse Robertson University of Victoria The Ethnothistory Field School is a collaboration of the Stó:lō Research and Resource Management Centre, Stó:lō Nation & Stó:lō Tribal Council, and the History Departments of the University of Victoria and University of Saskatchewan. Participants: Mary Malloway, Joan Silver, Chief Alice McKay, Stan Morgan, Brian “Hobo” Tommy, Louis Julian Introduction “So that’s how I remember it.” We were sitting in the office of the Matsqui Band Council and Chief Alice McKay had just finished telling me about a hill near the house where she grew up. She and her sisters used to slide down the hill, despite their mother’s warning that it was the site of an old cemetery: “We used to get it wet and we’d come down on our bums cause it was like clay. It was fun. Mom used to say, ‘You guys are going to run into some bones one of these times.’” Several decades later, in the 1990s, the hill was bulldozed by a group of men contracted to do work on the Matsqui reserve. “That really bothers me,” Alice sighed, “because I think that’s kind of, I don’t know, we have a lot of spirits here. And I seem to think that’s […] because that was taken down the way it was. They didn’t know. They just bulldozed it over.” Later, Alice took me to see the site of the old cemetery.

  • Lower Fraser River Hydraulic Model Final Report
    LOWER FRASER RIVER HYDRAULIC MODEL FINAL REPORT Prepared for: Fraser Basin Council 1st Floor, 470 Granville Vancouver, B.C. V6C1V5 Prepared by: northwest hydraulic consultants 30 Gostick Place North Vancouver, B.C. Telephone: (604) 980-6011 Triton Consultants Ltd. December 2006 34325 nhc EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In September 2005, the Fraser Basin Council (FBC) retained Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd. (nhc) to undertake a program of one-dimensional hydraulic modelling on the lower Fraser River using MIKE11 software developed by Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI). The overall objective was to generate an up-to-date design flood profile based on the following two scenarios: • The estimated flow during the 1894 Fraser River flood combined with high spring tide conditions. • The 200 year winter storm surge with high tide combined with a Fraser River winter flood. The two profiles were then overlaid and the higher of the two values was used to develop an overall design flood profile for the river. Initially, the study reach covered the 100 km distance from Sumas Mountain to the Georgia Strait, encompassing the North, Middle and South Arms, including Canoe Pass, as well as Pitt River to Pitt Lake inlet. Later on, the study was extended upstream to re-assess flood levels upstream of Mission in the reach up to the mouth of the Harrison River. The hydraulic model was developed using field data collected in 2005. The field work included detailed bathymetric surveys of the channel, LIDAR surveys of the floodplain and ADCP velocity measurements to estimate flow splits at major channel branches. The model was calibrated and verified initially using recorded data from 2002, 1999 and 1997 flood events.
