• Goals of this project were to enhance fish and wildlife habitat in Burrard Inlet, and to increase public access to nature.
• Once combined with the Green Shores principles, the project team had a clear path to successful completion
• The GSCD Gold rating reinforces the positive work the
project team and project partners delivered at New Brighton Park, both for the environment and the community.

• The urban location of this project proved to be challenging, specifically the robust consultation that was undertaken due to a variety of local resident and stakeholder groups.
• Winter construction work also proved to be a challenge due
to an extremely wet and cold winter experienced in 2016-17, followed by severe summer drought conditions in 2017.
Challenges:
