279:. Starting in August of 2002 and finishing in 2003, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada rebuilt the dam. The new dam included a 29.5-metre (97 ft) long fishway that runs along the north side. It is 3.6 m (12 ft) wide and includes seven vertical baffles within the structure that are designed to reduce flow velocities to create refuges for migrating fish. At the upstream end of the fishway, there is a 1.5 by 1.5-metre gated bay. The dam itself is 28.4 m (93 ft) long and 4.9 m (16 ft) high. The dam consists of four gates, each 4.5 m (15 ft) wide and 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) high. 39: 67: 74: 46: 297:
