About+Us

History This is our third successful year raising Salmon eggs from the D.F.O (who supplies wild chum eggs). Last year (2010), our class wrote to Bill Siksay (our local MP) about our concerns for wild salmon (gravel mining on the Lower Fraser, dewatering of Interior streams like the Nicola, and the Atlantic salmon farming). We received letters back from many political offices, including the office of the Prime Minister.

On April 20th, 2011, we released 53 fry into the Brunette River. Our third annual Salmon Send-off was a success and we look forward to continuing our role in local stewardship.

We chose the Brunette because it is a recovering urban stream that closely fits our parent stock - Lower Fraser wild chum.

What we do? We raise salmon eggs to fry we feed it, take temperature on the tank and maintain the tank so they don't die!. Then, when there ready we travel by bus and pack a cooler full of fry to Brunette River and release them. We are actively involved and learning about stewardship and are going to start our next project soon..marking storm drains!

Storm Drain Marking is an important way to raise environmental awareness in the neighborhood. Storm drains flow directly into the watershed and chemicals going down drain harmfully impact wild salmon.
