Chum Fry Release at Douglas Creek
Posted on May 16th, 2006 by Robert Bridgeman

The Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society invites you, with our community partners, to transplant 30,000 chum fry into Douglas Creek on Saturday May 20th, 2006 at 10:30am. We meet at the weir, which can be accessed from Robinwood Drive. This is a great event for parent or guardian supervised children.

The transplant is a part of the ongoing restoration of Douglas Creek. Previous transplants are responsible for the return of chum salmon to Douglas Creek where this spring, for the first time in many years, chum salmon hatched naturally. This transplant will supplement the natural production from the Creek which was heavily impacted by an oil spill last fall.

Our community partners include Saanich Parks, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Howard English Hatchery, Goldstream Salmon Enhancement Society, Esquimalt Anglers, Pacific Salmon Federation, Pacific Forestry Centre, Stream of Dreams, Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society and friends of the Park.

If you need directions to the weir telephone Bob Bridgeman 477-7464 or email at rbridge@shaw.ca
