Funding for developing new or enhancing existing recreation sites along the Site C Reservoir.
The Community Recreation Site Fund was established by BC Hydro to mitigate impacts of the Site C Clean Energy Project on recreation sites along the Peace River and its tributaries, outside the dam site and reservoir area.
Once built, Site C will be a source of clean, reliable and affordable electricity in B.C. for more than 100 years. The engineering process that has been followed throughout the entire project is consistent with international best practices and the highest safety standards and has been reviewed by the independent Site C Technical Advisory Board.
We're implementing safety measures, reviewed and endorsed by two international experts, to ensure the right bank structures are safe over the long operating life of Site C.
To report on project status, we use a dashboard system where key Site C project areas are classified as red (at risk), amber (moderate issues) or green (on target). This dashboard is updated quarterly.
