We are happy to be a part of the Disney ‘Give a Day, Get a Day‘ programme – a free ticket to Disney Land !!  Anyone six years old or over can come along to the Noons Creek Hatchery and volunteer for a day to be eligible for this great opportunity (under 18 year olds must be accompanied by an adult).  The whole family can sign up for this offer.

Please sign up online and contact Sandra Niven at portmoodyecologicalsociety@hotmail.com before coming to the hatchery to access this programme.

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.
