The project to refurbish the fish ladder at Lac Huit Mille is part of an environmental compensation project. The fish ladder is located within the dam, which was built to maintain the level of Lac Huit Mille for resort/recreational tourism purposes. Before the work was carried out, the fish ladder was no longer suitable, since seasonal flows were very variable, or even too low during low-water periods. The excessive slope of the fish ladder generated speeds and turbulence in the basins which were detrimental to the passage of the fish. During this RDV Franco, there will be a brief presentation of the context of the project and the technical challenges encountered. The repairs will also be presented in pictures.

Le Rendez-Vous du Comité Francophone de l'ACB is a periodic event (virtual and/or face-to-face) during which members of the committee receive a variety of presenters and guests to address and discuss various topics related to dams.
More informal and interactive than traditional webinars, this activity sometimes takes the form of a presentation, sometimes a discussion, and sometimes both.
