A portion of Ermineglen Road was closed Wednesday in order to lower the water at Chinook Lake.

There are no natural predators or parasites for goldfish or koi in North America, meaning their population can quickly grow out of control without human intervention. All the ponds and lakes in Lethbridge overflow or drain into the storm water system, which releases into the Oldman River.The city will be using a chemical called rotenone to eradicate the invasive fish population.

Goldfish were already eradicated from Firelight Pond in 2022, and are scheduled to be eradicated from Chinook Lake and Elma Groves Pond in 2023.
