VANCOUVER – Chum Salmon Fry Release

  • 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Brian and Eric from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) will be taking 15,000 chum fry to Spanish Banks Creek for release! NatureKids BC is being invited to this release.

Kids with rubber boots and parents with cameras are most welcome to help us with the release.  Adults can get involved by carrying fry to upstream pools so that the fry will stay longer in the Creek and become better imprinted.

Sorry, dogs are not invited.

This chum fry release will take place (rain or shine) where Spanish Banks Creek flows under Northwest Marine Drive, a short distance west of the Spanish Banks West Concession. The address for the Concession is 4875 NW Marine Drive.

Free parking is available on the north side of Marine Drive immediately west of the Concession. Toilets are available at the Concession.
While this event will be starting at 4:30pm, you will have time to participate if you come from school. I think it will take us a while to safely bring all those fry to the stream.
 To make it easier to contact interested families in case of last minute changes, register your interest here.

This event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today!
