Come help release 50,000 chum into Eagle Creek at the annual salmon release next weekend.
The Eagle Creek Streamkeepers and Fisheries and Oceans Canada will release the salmon Saturday April 21 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Charles Rummel Park at 3325 Piper Ave. in Burnaby. The chum will be released by hand starting at 10 a.m. until all have been let go. Not sure what the release is all about? There will be educational handouts, so you can find out.
The Eagle Creek Streamkeepers are a volunteer group that restores fish and wildlife to Eagle Creek, which runs from Burnaby Mountain where it is fed by a large watershed, through Montecito and Squint Lake, and flows into Burnaby Lake.
Parking at Charles Rummel Park is limited, but there is overflow parking available on Mark Crescent and Kraft Place.
