SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - Chum Salmon Fry Release
DESCRIPTION: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. \nKids 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. \n\nSorry\, dogs are not invited.\nThis 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. \nFree parking is available on the north side of Marine Drive immediately west of the Concession. Toilets are available at the Concession.\n\nWhile 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.\n\n To make it easier to contact interested families in case of last minute changes\, register your interest here.\n\nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today! \n

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - Sky Gazing Anyone?
DESCRIPTION:Sky gazing anyone?? Astronomer Justin Lee has invited us to join him at Kitsilano Beach in the last week of April\, from 7:30 to 10:00\, to view the moon\, Venus\, and Mars through this telescope. Even though it will still be light at 7:30\, the moon will be bright enough for us to see. This might be a great time for younger sky gazers. For those who want to see Venus and Mars\, 8:30 will be a better start time. \nWe won’t know the exact date of this “Explorer Evening” (Tues. 25th\, Wed. 26th\, or Thurs. 27th) until we check the weather forecast the week before. This is an all-ages event\, and you can drop by anytime. \nJustin is an amateur astronomer\, an interest he has had since the age of 11. Throughout university\, he was a member of the UBC Astronomy Club. Now Justin loves to host public observation events and to share the night sky with as many people as possible. You can check out Justin’s blog here\, and see his Instagram here. \nFor astronomy lovers in your family\, see Night Sky Bright Planets\, which gives planets rise and set times for Vancouver as well as other locations. \nThis event is for NatureKids BC members. Become a member today it’s FREE! \nRegister your interest here. \n

SUMMARY:NICOMEKL - Fools in Nature
