696 - Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Project

The Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Project, initiated by the Tsulquate community of Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw peoples (GNN) in Port Hardy, British Columbia, seeks qualified engineering consultants to propose solutions for mitigating coastal and river flooding. This project, funded by the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund, aims to protect the Tsulquate community from future flood risks while considering climate change and sea level rise. The proposed infrastructure includes land raising, bridge raising, and the construction of an engineered beach dike/river dike. Interested consultants are invited to submit detailed proposals outlining their approach, experience with Indigenous communities, and environmental considerations. The selected consultant will play a crucial role in enhancing community resilience and environmental preservation through the construction of flood protection infrastructure.
