Projects and Programs

The Tseycum Creek Hydrological Study is being undertaken by North Saanich to identify watershed, hydrology characteristics and problem areas, then suggest improvements that should help reduce flooding and chronic pollution.

Tseycum Watershed Community Initiative

The TWCI stewardship group was formed in 2002 to improve the health of Tseycum Creek and the receiving waters of Patricia Bay. Tseycum watershed was recently selected as the focus for the Peninsula Stormwater committee’s pilot project on improving water quality. Habitat restoration and reintroduction of chum salmon has been undertaken in Tseycum Creek for the last few years.

Backgrounder

"Tseycum" is the anglicised version of WSIKEM, the local First Nation name for the area, meaning "place of clay". In 2001-02, the WSIKEM-TENTEN Stewardship Project undertook an in depth study of fecal coliform pollution and other water quality parameters in Tseycum Creek. Click here to read the report.
