Something fishy on sign

A new sign in Kelowna's Mission Creek Greenway is turning heads for its mangling of grammar and punctuation. 

The sign reads: "Kokanee are called Sockeye Salmon where they can migrate to the ocean. Where they are land-locked and spend their entire lives in lakes. They are known as Kokanee. Kokanee are found from Alaska to California." 

One park-goer who walks the Greenway regularly says he thought something wasn't right the first time he saw the installation. 

"There definitely should have been a proofreading and a lot more attention taken to detail," said Jim Carey. 

The Regional District of Central Okanagan, which manages regional parks, says the story boards have been a collaborative effort between RDCO and volunteers with the Mission Creek Society.

"We have been installing 30 interpretive signs along the entire length of the Greenway," said communications spokesman Bruce Smith. "The signs are replacing some of the older, outdated interpretive signs that were there."

After the issue was brought to the attention of the RCDO, Smith said they will review and correct the sign as needed.
