If you are interested in exploring this volunteer work, whether tending to coho or chum directly or assisting with other duties, reach out via email. Alternatively, you could drop in for a tour on Saturdays when we are open from 0930-1230. Come and see how you can fit in. Corner of Coast Meridian Road and Patricia, Port Coquitlam.
