In 2018, the Big Bar Slide event on the Fraser River created a blockage that significantly and negatively affected migrating salmon and cost millions of dollars in ongoing mitigation costs. The impacts of another event, like the Big Bar Slide could be catastrophic. The research project, “Landslide impact on flow dynamics, fish migration and genetics of Fraser River salmon,” analyzed past slide dynamics to develop a predictive model of potential future slide activity, and we now have the opportunity to use that data to inform potential future slide response and possibly mitigate impacts to salmon migration.
The webinar will include information on the critical need for both secure substance use services and long-term secure psychiatric care. Dr. Kane will speak to what led to the current situation and the wide-ranging effects on other parts of healthcare and societal systems. The focus will be on opportunities that exist to address this critical gap in mental health and addictions care for communities in Central and Northern BC.
Speaker: Dr. Barbara Kane, Head of Psychiatry, University Hospital of Northern BC
