Salmon Egg Take on the Shuswap River - Thanksgiving Weekend
The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society hosts their annual Salmon Egg Take event over the Thanksgiving long-weekend. The purpose of the Egg Take event is the annual brood-stock collection of Chinook salmon eggs for the Society’s community-run salmon hatchery, which, with government support and the tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers, has been raising Chinook salmon for over 37 years. It is a public involvement program (PIP) supported by Fisheries and Oceans Canada with the aim to spread salmon awareness and increase salmon stewardship, in the hopes of protecting our wild salmon stocks for future generations to enjoy. It is conservation through education and involvement.
The day starts on the river; netting the fish, collecting the eggs and milt. We will then return to the Interpretive Centre to fertilize the eggs and put them into our salmon incubator. This free, fun, family event is a great opportunity to get an up-close, hands-on look at our local Chinook salmon.
Some of the Chinook eggs collected will be taken to local schools where thousands of schoolchildren will also get hands-on experience raising fish in their classrooms.
The event is free and family friendly at the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre. Directions to the KIC here. You are welcome to participate or just observe. There will be waders and life-jackets available for borrow on a first come, first serve basis but if you have your own bring them with you. Also, you may wish to bring a lunch to enjoy on the river bank.
Contact us at (250) 838-0004 or kingfisherinterpretivecentre@gmail.com for more information.
