STRAIT oF GEoRGIA DATA CENTRE
HATCHING AND TEACHING
In 2012 and 2013 the Pacific Salmon Foundation
partnered with Goldcorp and Port Metro
Vancouver for grants totalling $67,500 to
rebuildtheKanakaEducationandEnvironmental
Partnership Society's Bell-Irving Hatchery. "The new
hatcheryisananchorforallourefforts,"saidDarin
McClain,managerofthehatchery."Ouractivities
in education, stewardship, community engagement
and research couldn't happen without the hatchery.
Not to mention, the hatchery is the reason fish
continue to return and keep the watershed
thriving."TheSocietycurrentlydeliversmorethan

to watch a video about the new hatchery.
Thanks to a $300,000 grant over three years
from the Sitka Foundation, the Pacific Salmon
Foundation is creating a Strait of Georgia Data
Centre at the University of British Columbia.
Currently there is no centralized space for
safekeeping or accessing old and new research
on the Strait. The centre will serve the public,
scientists, foundations and government. Success
in developing
this system will
ensure awareness
of past research,
facilitate future
study and could
be foundational
in restoration
of this B.C.
ecosystem,
estimated to
support about
3,000 different
species.
Thank you.
Donations to the Pacific Salmon
Foundation support projects that address
salmon conservation, restoration and
enhancement across the province. These
individuals and organizations have made
cumulative donations of $100,000 or
more to the Foundation.
