Selkirk Power, an independent power producer based on out of Nelson, BC, has postponed a controversial fish translocation project, citing concerns from the Ktunaxa Lands and Resources Council, who passed a resolution requesting termination of the translocation.
The translocation is a multi-year project to expand westslope cutthroat trout habitat in the upper reaches of Ventego Creek and create a second population in addition to the existing population in Cupola Creek. The second phase of the translocation would have involved moving 100 trout from Cupola Creek to Ventego Creek and was originally scheduled for October 2010.
