The 17th annual Coho Bon Voyage event is scheduled for Sunday June 6, 2010 from 11am to 3 pm at the Terminal Creek Hatchery and from 1pm to 2pm at the Lagoon Causeway. Visit our celebration and release some wild Coho Salmon Fry into Terminal Creek right at the hatchery location or at the freshwater Lagoon Causeway. As always, all ages are welcome.
Sunday May 03, 2009 at the Lagoon (about 12 noon). We are going to release our wild Chum. About 100,700 of them. Chum are the fish that soon after they hatch they want to get into the ocean and not hang around in our Bowen Streams. We will be loading them up at the hatchery and into the DFO truck and then transporting them to the Lagoon for release.
Come and have a look and maybe release a few buckets into the Lagoon yourselves.
On Monday Feb. 23rd, 2009 Municipal Council accepted a partnership proposal with the Bowen Island Fish & Wildlife Club. The Club will purchase Salmon and Trout habitat signage for selected creeks and Public Works will then install the signs within the municipal roads right-of-way.
For now the Club will be providing nine (9) signs for locations on Killarney, Terminal, Davies and Explosives Creeks. These particular creeks are designated at this time not only to denote Bowen’s resident Cutthroat Trout populations but to also point out the Clubs main interest in Pacific Wild Salmon (Chum and Coho) that inhabit these same Creeks.
Thanks Mayor and Councillors!
