‘Almost-free’ summer activity idea of the week
Capilano Salmon Hatchery
You can take part in a self-led tour and observe one of the great life-cycle stories in nature at this federal government hatchery in North Vancouver. Download a brochure and take it with you to guide you as you witness the life and death cycle from juvenile Pacific salmon in the ponds to returning adult salmon as they struggle up fish ladders to spawn. Open year round, but late August through to November provides good opportunities to view returning salmon, leaping up the river for spawning. (604.666.1790)
