Simpcw Resources Group is remediating culverts throughout Simpcwúl̓ecw to enhance and increase available fish habitat. Assessments are undertaken on the culverts to evaluate existing site conditions, determine fish passability, and assess fish habitat in proximity of the crossing before remediation efforts are undertaken. Culverts determined to impede passage to any lifestages or species of fishes are considered for restoration or remediation.

Since 2023, SRG has evaluated multiple culverts, and undertaken remediation efforts at culverts located along Louis Creek and McTaggart Creek. Culvert remediation at two private crossings along Dixon Creek, as well as additional culverts along Louis Creek are being considered for future restoration.
