Residents are invited to learn about salmon, explore an old growth forest and enjoy a barbecue at the annual Seymour River Hatchery open house this Sunday.
Hosted by the Seymour Salmonid Society, the educational event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors can tour the facility, discover stream invertebrates, see salmon in the Seymour River and participate in familyfriendly games and activities.
Because cars will not have access to the service road to the hatchery, visitors are asked to park in the parking lot at the top of Lillooet Road and catch a shuttle bus from there. The bus is free and will leave approximately every 20 minutes starting at 9:30 a.m. The ride up is
about 15 minutes and the last bus taking people to the hatchery will leave at 2 p.m. The last bus will return to the parking lot by around 3:30 p.m. Alternatively, people can also bike or walk the 12 kilometres to the hatchery from the parking lot.
Admission is free, but those wanting to purchase food from the barbecue should bring cash. For more information, visit seymoursalmon.com.
