I support the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society (Sechelt, Gibsons, Pender Harbour).
I don't live close enough to volunteer, but have been sending money for more than a decade.
Just got this via email over the weekend:
Become a Volunteer with the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society!
Working at the Chapman Creek hatchery is fun, socially enjoyable, educational and results in a program that stocks our rivers, streams, lakes and offshore salt water with several varieties of salmon, rainbow and cutthroat trout. During the last year, approximately 1,300,000 quality salmon were released into the many rivers and streams of the Sunshine Coast. This impressive program furthers economic growth in tourism, retail sales, education and recreation for residents and visitors alike.
The SCSES is a non-profit organization that is funded by provincial, community and individual contributions. The Chapman Creek hatchery depends on the professional management of Bob Anstead and a number of volunteers who assist in the hatching, rearing and release of young salmon throughout the Sunshine Coast. The SCSES is also served by a Board of Directors who support the program in numerous ways.
The Chapman Creek hatchery is now accepting applications for volunteers who can contribute at least three to four hours a week. The work is interesting, not physically demanding, and offers an opportunity to enjoy the camaraderie of working with an outstanding group of associate volunteers. There is also an opening for women or men to assist in the hatchery office for whatever time one can contribute.
SCSES also requires three more members for the Board of Directors. A position on the Board requires attendance at a monthly, two hour meeting. Additionally, Directors assist in several social functions such as the annual Rivers Day observance and the Dinner/Auction fund raising banquet. This is a voluntary opportunity that is enjoyable and rewarding in a number of ways.
