2007 Help Habitat Fundraiser
Posted on October 2nd, 2007 by Rodney Hsu, webmaster

Every year, the Chilliwack River Action Committee hosts a Help Habitat Fundraiser. The fundraiser generates money that is used to improve fish habitat on the Chilliwack River. This year's fundraiser will take place on Saturday October 27th from 12:00pm to 2:30pm. It will include the followings:

  • Complimentary lunch - salmon BBQ
  • Silence and live auctions
  • Raffle draw at 1:00pm - Three cash prizes
Raffle tickets are $10.00. The three grand prizes are $1,000, $500 and $250. Your raffle ticket is also admission to the fundraiser. You do not need to be at the fundraiser to claim the cash prize if you win it.

This year's fundraiser will be hosted at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Hall (48685 Chilliwack Lake Road). From Vedder Road, turn east onto Chilliwack Lake Road at the Vedder Bridge. Drive for approximately 7km. The clubhouse is located adjacent to the fire hall and across the road from Thompson Park.

Tickets will be available at local tacklestores. I will post up which ones are selling them soon. Some of us will also have them for sale, TBA.

This is a great and fun opportunity for all to help the Chilliwack River. You can come out and fish in the morning, drop by the fundraiser for a great lunch and possibly win up to $1,000 before the end of the day!

If you wish to purchase a booklet of ten tickets, or sponsor the event by donating an auction item, please email David Lamson. With your support, the Dave and his committee will work hard to improve the Chilliwack River and fishing opportunities.

Here is an update on work being done this year

Habitat Restoration Work of the Chilliwack River Action Committee for summer 2007:

1. Off-Channel habitat restoration to provide increased fry rearing and over wintering capacity for coho, steelhead and trout:

  • Wingfield and Ryder Creeks - sediment removal from settling ponds and maintenance work, riffle construction.
  • Deer Creek - Rebuild intake and replace blocked culvert leading to spawning and rearing channel.
2. Clay slide stabilization to reduce siltation of the Chilliwack River:

  • plan for sediment monitoring program for the Chilliwack River for the next year.
  • plan for commissioning engineered design and working drawings for stabilizing the top priority clay slides.
  • work toward obtaining the required funding. This is expensive work as it must be planned properly and requires large material and heavy equipment to handle it.

All interested in preserving the health and sustainability of the Chilliwack River Watershed for future generations are urged to support.
