About West Vancouver
Streamkeeper Society
As a volunteer-based organization, our members are actively engaged in streamkeeping projects and work programs in the 22 creeks and tributaries in the District of West Vancouver. We also manage a fish hatchery, producing approximately 130,000 coho and chum fry each year that we stock in local streams.
Outreach &
Education
We target the community at large with a broad range of engagement and education programs. The goal is to raise awareness of the importance of local creeks for salmon spawning and rearing, and of the hazards that threaten fish habitat.
