In support of Science Literacy Week come and discover Fernando Lessa’s beautiful underwater photography of our urban salmon runs, including Burnaby’s Stoney creek and Brunette River. Learn ho we can maintain our streams and creeks so salmon will continue to come back and spawn. 2019 is also the International Year of the Salmon!
