Registration Deadline Oct. 29

We have arranged a field trip for students in Grades 4 – 7 on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 from 12:30 – 2pm. We will meet at the Fraser River Discovery Centre, located at 788 Quayside in New Westminster, at 12:15pm. There is limited parking available behind the Fraser River Discovery Centre so please allow ample time to find parking in the area. Field Trip Description: Indigenous people have relied on salmon since the fish became abundant in the Fraser River about 5000-6000 years ago. This program explores the connection between Indigenous people and salmon on the Fraser River. Students get hands-on experience with fishing technology, learn about wind-drying salmon, and discover that salmon is in the hearts of Indigenous people living along the Fraser River today.
