When it comes down to questions like "what has made our salmon enhancement project so successful for so many years...what is our secret recipe?", the answer is very obvious: it is our volunteers, our people! From our Board members, to our administrative support team, and of course our tireless and dedicated 'boots on the ground' workers who gladly donate their time and sweat every season and step up and swing into action on sometimes a moments notice, rain or shine...and they seem to do it all with a smile and a sense of humour, and...fun! It is our people who make this all happen. We cannot say enough about our amazing group of dedicated volunteers, who come from all over and from our local communities. They are very passionate about our community and what we do, and why we are doing it, and all that passion and dedication is positively infectious. When new visitors come every fall to check out what we're doing, they often get a sense that something unique is happening, something that makes people want to be a part of what we're doing.
We've come to believe that our excellent people are what makes the annual Coho spawning run so successful.
To all our volunteers, past and present...thank you again!
