Kokanee salmon

Kokanee salmon will soon return to a cleaner home in Mission Creek. 

Starting Monday, July 24, BC Ministry of Environment crews will start cleaning the spawning channel and the associated settling pond in Mission Creek Regional Park.

All work is expected to be complete by August 16.
 
During this time, visitors to Mission Creek Regional Park, the Mission Creek Greenway and the spawning channel should watch for signage and stay out of marked areas and trails when heavy equipment is operating.  
This short window provides the chance for cleaning the channel prior to the annual Kokanee spawning season.
