Spring is a time for new beginnings for many animals and salmon are no exception. After spending 3 to 4 months growing inside their eggs, many species of salmon are now hatching and ready for their journey.
From April 18 to 20th, visit the FRDC for a splash of fun with salmon-themed activities and games. Learn all about these incredible fish and the many challenges they face after hatching.
We hope you’ll hop on in and celebrate with us this spring!
WHAT:
10:00am – 12:00pm: Conduct a water test in the Fraser River to see how water quality affects salmon.
