Still Creek Salmon Spotting

The salmon are back! Salmon have already been spotted at Cornett Road behind the Rupert Street Canadian Tire.

We invite you to head down to Still Creek to witness the majestic salmons’ return. By doing so, you can help us gather information about the health of Still Creek salmon and their habitat.

We’ve mapped out the spots along Still Creek where you’re most likely to see returning salmon. Plan a visit and email us to let us know what you saw.

Sustenance Festival | Natural Dye Garden Tour & Seed-Saving

Artist and Garden Director Carmen Rosen will show you around the Colour Me Local Dye Garden. You’ll learn its history and how its plants are used to create vibrant dyes, in addition to supporting pollinators and Indigenous medicinal programs. Participate in seed harvesting and take home some dye-plant seeds to grow yourself.

Salmon Cycle | Salmon-Spotting Bike Ride Along Still Creek

Ride with us along the Central Valley Greenway to spot salmon returning to Still Creek at the end of their great migration back from the Pacific. The ride will travel from Rupert and Grandview to the west end of Burnaby Lake, stopping at 8 Creek low-out points along the way. 

All riders and abilities are welcome to join us along this relatively flat bike route.

Shedding Light Talk | Mapping Still Creek with Drones, LiDAR and Remote Sensing

Join us for an exciting introduction to the science of remote sensing, where you’ll learn how sensors on drones, satellites, and aircraft are used to map and monitor ecosystems like the Still Creek Watershed.

Led by PhD candidate Liam Irwin from UBC’s Integrated Remote Sensing lab, this talk will cover the basics of remote sensing, showcase stunning visuals, and explore the role of drones in environmental studies.
