Sea Island Climate Resilience Project

The Sea Island Climate Resilience Project is a proactive solution to address climate-related challenges, including implications of rising sea levels and increased risk of flooding. The project will see YVR upgrade the dike and drainage system on Sea Island by raising the existing perimeter dikes by approximately one metre to a total height of 4.7 metres and improving overall drainage and geotechnical stability.

Beginning in fall 2025, YVR will be conducting works to upgrade the dike and drainage system along the eastern part of the Sea Island Conservation Area, known as SICA East. A portion of the SICA East area, including a walking trail, will be temporarily closed as this work takes place to ensure the safety of the community and workers. The trail will reopen once construction is completed.
