UPCOMING EVENTS
Salmon Egg Take on the Shuswap River - Thanksgiving Weekend
A free, fun, family event is a great opportunity to get an up-close, hands-on look at our local Chinook salmon.
The Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society hosts their annual Salmon Egg Take event over the Thanksgiving long-weekend. The purpose of the Egg Take is the annual brood-stock collection of Chinook salmon for the Kingfisher Interpretive Centre 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 38 year. 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 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 egg incubator.
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. 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.
If you are interested in participating or just observing, the Centre is located 25kms east of Enderby on Mabel Lake Rd at 2550 Mabel Lake Rd. The river portion of the event takes place approximately 500m past the Interpretive Centre right on the river. You can’t miss it!
If you have any questions, contact us at (250) 838-0004 or kingfisherinterpretivecentre@gmail.com.
