The Port Moody Ecological Society is holding a photo competition to showcase local talent.  The winning photo will be displayed at the Fingerling Festival on May 1st and at the Port Moody library during the month of July.  Please see full details under ‘Events‘.  Photos will be used in our newsletters, website, and promotional material, with credit given.

We had a great response to the Disney ‘Give a Day, Get a Day‘ programme which has now finished.  One million people in North America volunteered their time to get a free day at Disneyland and we’re happy to have been a part of this.

The Port Moody Ecological Society is located in the city of Port Moody, situated behind the recreation centre [map] at the eastern end of Burrard Inlet, about 18 km east of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Noon's Creek Hatchery

The hatchery, off-channel fish habitat, lab, ‘polish’ marsh (duck pond) and outdoor classrooms are located at the mouth of the Noons Creek watershed in Port Moody, British Columbia.

Noons Creek flows 11 kilometers (7 miles) from its headwaters at Cypress Lake (el. 830 m [2,700 ft]) in Eagle Mountain Provincial Park, through the Cities of Coquitlam and Port Moody into Port Moody Arm of Burrard Inlet (Pacific Ocean).

Noons Creek is one of 31 streams flowing into Port Moody Arm of Burrard Inlet.

We invite everyone to come to the hatchery and see what work is done throughout the year, from collecting eggs from the returning salmon in October to releasing the small juvenile salmon into Noons Creek  at the Fingerling Festival for their four year journey out to the ocean, there is always something going on at the hatchery.  We also welcome school groups for tours and workshops.

Our volunteers work very hard to ensure that the salmon are taken care of year round.  There are lots of opportunities – please click here.
