    Mosquito Creek

    The Mosquito Creek fish ladder was installed at the GVRD weir in September 1996.
    Under an agreement with the GVRD, data was collected at least once a week for one year (54 visits) to evaluate fish access and stream conditions. Findings were used to determine ways to improve ladder function.
    An extension wall was added to the instream side of the ladder as a result.
