Event Details

Guide:

Terry Slack is a semi-retired commercial salmon fisherman, a Fraser River salmon conservationist and a lifetime lover of river history and archeology.

Description:

It is beleived that runs of wild Coho historically spawned in this creek as far back as 400 B. C. Like the ancient Coho smolts who always spent their first year close the upper water source  of creeks like Tsusnahm, we will start to explore the watershed and great ravine of this great first nations historic salmon creek! The walk starts at 57th and west Boulevard. We will explore the creeks route to the North Arm of the Fraser River. With permission of Musqueam Elders we will enter the mysterious old Village site called "Tsusnahm".   

 

Route:

Meet at 57th and West Boulevard at 11:00. We will go south towards the river and end up at 75th and Angus at the Fraser River Park.

 

Special Instructions:

Some ground is uneven on the trails and paths. Wear walking shoes. Walk is child-friendly and bike-friendly. Rain or shine. Suggested donations of $5 - $10 welcome.

 

NOTE: We are a Non-Profit Society who is happy to give our volunteer time for these very important historical walks. In the two previous years of walks, MANY OF THOSE WHO DID REGISTER NEVER CAME to the planned walk. Some had registered groups of 3 or 5 people each. As a result, others who registered later were disappointed because our quota had been reached. Also the historians who had worked hard to prepare their material only spoke to a small number of people.

We ask that you ONLY REGISTER IF THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE YOU WILL BE JOINING US on that day. Please be respectful of the work the organizers and historians are putting into these events and follow these guidelines. We look forward to seeing you at our walks!
