MERRITT – Salmon in the Coldwater River
Salmon in the Coldwater River
Guest mentor Paul Mozin (fisheries biologist) will be teaching us all about salmon in the Coldwater River. There is a fish counter set up where we will be meeting and hopefully we will be able to see live specimens being measured for a long-term monitoring project.
We will be meeting at Voght park and walking along the river trail first to learn about river systems for World Rivers Day.

Explorer Day Etiquette:
Be prepared to HAVE FUN
Pre-registration with your Club Leader is required for most Explorer Days (Friends are welcome if space permits).
Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for passport stamping and organization. Starting times are firm, and Leaders cannot wait for late-comers!
Please stay with the Leader and let them know if you are leaving early.
Children must always be accompanied by an adult guardian, who is responsible for their behaviour. Children consistently disrupting the experience of others may be asked to leave.
Bring appropriate weather gear, sunscreen, snacks, water, and other useful tools like binoculars, sketch books, cameras, and magnifying glasses.
