Congratulations to TELUS for achieving Salmon-Safe BC certification on three development projects – TELUS Living Nanaimo, TELUS Ocean (Victoria) and TELUS Living Sechelt.


Salmon-Safe is an eco-certification program of the Fraser Basin Council. It recognizes eco-friendly management practices on agricultural and urban lands that better protect Pacific salmon in their natural habitat and enhance water quality in the streams, rivers and coastal waters of British Columbia.


All three TELUS development projects were reviewed by an independent Salmon-Safe assessment team. Each has innovative design features that reflect a commitment by TELUS to improve watershed health in these urban settings. Key features include:

  • Rainwater harvesting for irrigation and other water-use optimization techniques

  • Effective stormwater management, including detention, improved filtration and slow water release

  • Increased tree canopy to offer bird habitat and reduce urban heat effects

  • Rooftop plantings and use of site-adapted and native plants in landscaping planning
