🏔️ PKOLS (Mount Douglas Park) lies within the territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ (represented by the W̱JOȽEȽP, BOḰEĆEN, SȾÁUTW̱, W̱SIḴEM and MÁLEXEȽ Nations) as well as the the lək ̓wəŋən peoples, represented by the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. The W̱SÁNEĆ and lək ̓wəŋən peoples have been here since time immemorial, and their relationship with the land and water is long and rich.
Enjoy speakers, educational displays, hot beverages, and learn more about our efforts at the Conservancy's membership table.
The event will happen rain or shine (the salmon don't care). Please dress for the outdoors, but leave your favourite winter coat at home — this can be slimy but rewarding experience!
This is a family-friendly event. Children are most welcome, but for safety reasons, each child must be accompanied/supervised by a responsible parent or guardian.
We can’t wait to see you there!
