The Future Of Salmon Stewardship: Goldstream Hatchery welcomes its youngest GVSEA member and volunteer!

 "I wanted to let everyone know about an initiative that a young lady has undertaken to help support our efforts at the hatchery. Some of you were helping in the river when Julia and her Mom came down to provide encouragement to those in the cold water and she had made up a poster to show her appreciation.

​It 
turns out that this young lady with the support of her Mom, Joscilyn, is fascinated by the natural world around her and, in particular, the importance of our beloved salmon in that world. We invited them to join us at the hatchery and that seemed to further encourage her."

"On November 14th, she presented us with $450.00 that she had raised by selling salmon keychains in her neighbourhood that she and her Mom manufactured themselves. It is this sort of thing that energizes me and gives me hope that, in spite of all the depressing news we receive daily, there is hope for the future. On our volunteers' behalf, I've suggested that Julia and Joscilyn might be interested in a membership because Julia is not yet old enough to be up here on her own yet."

These hand-drawn, handmade keychains by Julia (age 8) will be available when in stock at the hatchery for $5 each. They also may become available at Island Outfitters and other local spots. Stay tuned!
From all of us here at Goldstream Hatchery, and on behalf of our Pacific Salmon,
Thank you so much for your support and interest in salmon enhancement Julia!

Goldstream River 2020 Salmon Run

11/6/2020

Day by day and week by week, the salmon are slowly arriving at Goldstream.

Thank you to our dedicated volunteers for "wadering up", getting cold and sometimes rather wet in the process of netting these fish for Goldstream Hatcheries' brood stock. So far we have had some beautiful chum, and the odd coho. We still anticipate more fish over the next few weeks. 

A special thank you to Scotty Fishing & Outdoor Products for also supplying our volunteers with face shields to be worn during this process and while at the hatchery to follow current "Covid protocols" at this time. 

Stay tuned for a great video being done up over the next few months, documenting this years brood stock collection, including great underwater footage of these magnificent fish.
