Ripe fruit and autumn colours mean that it’s the time of year to celebrate the fascinating land-locked cousin of the Sockeye; salmon spawning season has begun!
Enjoy free, live entertainment and interpretive displays at this long-running, annual celebration of the return of the spawning Kokanee salmon at Mission Creek Regional Park. The event runs this Saturday, September 9 from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
Program schedule:
In addition, every weekend until October 8, park interpreters will be on-site at Mission Creek and Hardy Falls Regional Parks from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Park staff are available to describe the importance of the spawning phenomenon and the life cycle of Kokanee salmon.
As you explore regional parks, be alert for bears and other wildlife. Dogs must be on leash and both pets and people should stay well away from the creek shoreline.
