🌊 We’re thrilled to announce the completion of in-stream work on the Gabo Creek restoration project!

This year, over 200 meters of the creek was restored, thanks to the collaboration between Saanich Parks Natural Areas, Saanich Public Works Creeks & Waterways, and Peninsula Streams Society.

Together, we’ve improved creek health by removing sediment buildup, creating habitat pools and spawning beds, and preparing the area for native planting this fall. This partnership, which has been going strong for over a decade, continues to enhance the vitality of our urban creeks! 🌱🐟

BREAKING!!! 👉The illegally operating fish farm on Lois Lake was fined $350,000🤑 today in court. Their factory farm isn't operating anymore, and all their junk needs to be out of the lake by August 31, 2025. This is GOOD NEWS for the native fish populations in the lake. Watershed Watch Salmon Society dug up evidence and exposed the story with the help of tips from local fishing guide, Pat Demeester. 💪 A great team effort. This should send a strong signal 🚫 to all other factory fish farms in B.C.👉 We don't want your dirty law-breaking facilities here anymore. GET OUT!!!
