Vanderhoof’s Riverside Park to undergo stabilization project

A stabilization project for Riverside Park in Vanderhoof is in it’s early stages.

Mayor, Gerry Thiessen says the rising water levels of the Nechako River and spring flooding made this a priority.

“What we have noticed in the last few years with the high fluctuations of the Nechako River and the recent flooding we lost a substantial amount of our riverbank in the Town of Vanderhoof.”

Thiessen adds the total cost of the project would be over 500 thousand dollars but admits those figures are a rough estimate.
