Events Description
The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust’s See the Salmon Run.
The Collingwood/Town of Blue Mountains event is a chance for people of all ages to see scores of massive Chinook Salmon fight their way up Silver Creek on their annual spawning run.
This year’s event lands smack in the middle of the annual salmon migration.
The centrepiece of the event is a 20-minute self-guided nature hike through the woods along Silver Creek. Adults and kids can stop to watch salmon climb the creek and learn more about fish spawning and riparian habitat at 4 locations where conservation experts from the local conservation authorities, Georgian Bay Forever and other organizations will be on hand to add to your knowledge of fish migration and to stamp kids’ fish ‘passports’.
At See the Salmon Run you’ll find delicious food, local brews by the Collingwood Brewery and FREE food for kids.
Elephant Thoughts and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority will be there with a huge inflatable salmon, interactive games and crafts for children.
About The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation
The Blue Mountain Watershed Trust Foundation (Watershed Trust), Ontario’s first watershed trust, was founded in 1994. During the past 26 years, the Watershed Trust has dedicated itself to preserving and protecting the area’s wetlands, watercourses and wildlife corridors. This includes Silver Creek and the Silver Creek Wetland, a Provincially Significant wetland and one of the region’s most valuable natural features. The Silver Creek Watershed offers $10.5 million worth of non-market ecological services to the province each year.
The Watershed Trust is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization supported by donations and fundraising. The organization exists in order to raise awareness of and protect watercourses in the Collingwood/Blue Mountains area including Silver, Townline, Batteaux and Black Ash Creeks; the Beaver and Pretty Rivers; and Indian Brook.
