We are a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and public interest holders to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams. We're funded by BC Hydro and our regional boards direct those funds to on-the ground, research and monitoring projects in our Coastal, Columbia and Peace regions.

Our Vision:
Thriving fish and wildlife populations in watersheds that are functioning and sustainable.

Our Mission:
The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) compensates for fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams.

How We Operate:
The FWCP operates in three regions of the province of B.C. with annual funding provided by BC Hydro. In our Columbia and Peace Regions, the FWCP is a mechanism to meet BC Hydro’s water licence conditions. In our Coastal Region BC Hydro’s contribution is voluntary.

In each region a local Board comprised of agencies, First Nations, and public stakeholders guides our work and is responsible for approving all FWCP projects and budgets. FWCP projects are funded and delivered through our annual grants, long-term agreements and partnerships. Our Boards may also choose to direct projects and approve funding to address regional priorities.
