Did you know the Quinsam River Hatchery is responsible for roughly eight million Pink salmon eggs every year? 🐟
The hatchery doesn’t just raise salmon — the team monitors the health of rivers and fish through tagging, sampling, and research, helping protect local salmon populations.
Visitors can explore the self-guided tours along the river, and at the Visitor Centre, learn about the salmon life cycle, restoration projects, and the hatchery’s vital role in the community.
In the fall, it’s also a well-known spot for bear viewing, as black bears often visit the river for their seasonal salmon feast. 🐻
🔵 Campbell River is nestled within the territory of the Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ peoples; the We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, and Kwiakah Nations.
