CANCELLED

“As you all must have anticipated, we’ve had to make the sad decision to cancel the public Great Salmon Send-Off event on May 9th, 2020 as a safety measure due to the current Coronavirus.

We want to thank you, the community, for your ongoing support. This event has always been about education. We will continue to protect, preserve, and enhance Burnaby’s urban forest and salmon-bearing stream.

Stay safe and we will all get through this together.
