The Tank Hill Alliance project involved the construction of a new bridge near the Thompson River in an area of cultural and historical importance to Nlaka’pamux communities.
During engagement, Nlaka’pamux communities raised concerns about maintaining safe access to traditional fishing areas during and after construction.
Integris led discussions involving community representatives, leadership, regulators and the project team. Based on the priorities identified through engagement, Integris recommended that community-focused access improvements be incorporated into the project.
The project team added temporary access and parking for local fishers during construction and made design changes to create an enhanced long-term parking area and trail access beneath the new bridge.
These changes protected access during construction and created a lasting improvement for community members beyond the completion of the project.
