Preventing coastal flooding and shoreline erosion in the Village of Gwa’yas’dums on Gilford Island

Village of Gwa’yas’dums, British Columbia, July 18, 2025 — Gilford Island coastlines will be protected from the impacts of climate change and erosion after an investment of more than $3.2 million from the federal government.

Gwa’yas’dums Village (gwa-yas-dums) is a remote coastal island community that is at risk of coastal flooding and shoreline erosion due to sea-levels rising and storm surges. The current shoreline protection infrastructure was installed in the 1960’s and has passed its life expectancy. This project includes two key elements: armouring the shoreline with riprap, which is human-placed rock or other natural materials used to protect shoreline structures against erosion, as well as the construction of a bio-engineered slope. These assets will increase the community’s resilience by mitigating the impacts of coastal flooding to the community’s critical infrastructure and essential services.
