“As my time here at the museum has come to an end I wanted to say a massive thank you to the PoCo Heritage Museum and Archives for welcoming me onto their team for the past 16 weeks! I will cherish the memories I made forever! And thank you to the community for trusting me with preservation of their local history during my time here as well! Thank you again to everyone and I hope to be back in the near future! Signing off -Laura”

It's fall and that means it's salmon spawning seas

It's fall and that means it's salmon spawning season!

Salmon have always been important to Port Coquitlam. In fact our name 'Coquitlam' comes from the Halkomelem word kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (kwikwetlem) which means "red fish up the river" in reference to the abundance of salmon that used to spawn here.

Overfishing, climate change, pollution, and other human-caused disasters have contributed to a significant decrease in the number of salmon in our waters. This year we may see the lowest number of sockeye in the Fraser river on record. The man-made disaster of the landslide at Hell's Gate which devastated salmon stocks may have been more than 100 years ago, but things are still getting worse. We have not reversed the trend.

Spare a thought for the salmon who are so important to the place that we live. Consider taking steps towards more sustainable practices so we can help them recover!

All this rain's got us feeling like one of these guys! If you keep your eyes peeled while walking by the Coquitlam River on the Traboulay PoCo Trail, you'd likely see a whole bunch of them!

So, what am I?
