Bowen Island Hatchery

March 16th, 2009

The Hatchery is operated by the Bowen Island Fish & Wildlife Club, a volunteer society formed in 1967.  The hatchery building was built by Bowen Volunteers.  The main yearly funding for operation and training comes from a grant from the Canadian Federal Government, the Department of Fisheries & Oceans. hatchery-building-front
