Rivers and streams all along the province’s coast will soon see different species of Pacific salmon make their journey to the sea, and people form the local area will be offering them a helping hand.
Each year, the community holds its ‘Great Salmon Send Off’ which will see live salmon fry be released into the waters of Stoney Creek where they will live and grow until the time comes for them to make their trip to the ocean. There will be lots of other activities for all ages, and the whole family is encouraged to participate.
In past years, the celebration included an assortment of educational displays and activities. It takes place rain or shine, and several community organizations, including the Burnaby Lake Park Association, are already on the list of NGOs that will be participating. Live entertainment will be on offer, and the whole event is free to attend.
An occasion like this can be both entertaining and educational, and as it offers lots of hands-on fun, it can be a great idea for a children’s outing. Placing Posters throughout the local area can be an effective way to promote this type of local activity, and these can be obtained from area poster printing companies.
This year’s ‘Great Salmon Send Off’ will be held on May 11 at Stoney Creek Elementary School. It has been organized by the Stoney Creek Environmental Committee.
