SUMMARY:Raincoasters at the Fingerling Festival: Wolves\, Salmon\, and Connected Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, May 2nd at the annual Fingerling Festival for a hands-on learning and community celebration. Hosted at the Noons Creek Hatchery in Port Moody\, this free\, family-friendly event brings together environmental organizations\, educators and community members to celebrate the release of thousands of young salmon fingerlings into local waterways and their journey to the ocean.  \n\n\n\nVisit the Raincoast booth to explore the fascinating connection between wolves and salmon\, and how these species are linked through coastal ecosystems. Learn how returning salmon support not only aquatic life\, but also terrestrial wildlife like wolves\, who rely on marine nutrients to sustain themselves and help distribute those nutrients across the landscape. Through visuals and conversation\, we’ll share how understanding these connections can help inform conservation and stewardship efforts across the region.  \n\n\n\nCome connect\, ask questions\, and discover how protecting one species can help support an entire ecosystem. \n\n\n\nLocation and time\n\n\n\nNoons Creek Hatchery & the Port Moody Recreation Centre’s ice rinkSaturday\, May 2\, 2026\, from 11 am – 3 pm

SUMMARY:Diving deep: Protecting and recovering endangered Southern Resident killer whales
DESCRIPTION:Join experts at our free event at SFU Harbour Centre: Wednesday\, May 27. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nValeria VergaraMisty MacDuffeeMichael Jasny \n\n\n\nPoster by David Suzuki Foundation\n\n\n\nSouthern Resident Killer Whales\, or southern resident orcas\, are a distinct population that inhabit the coastal waters of British Columbia and Washington state. Today\, they are critically endangered\, with only a small population remaining. Losing them would mean the extinction of a genetically and culturally unique group that cannot be replaced. \n\n\n\nAs apex predators\, southern resident orcas play a vital role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. Their survival is closely tied to the health of Chinook salmon populations – their primary food source – and to the overall condition of our coastal waters. \n\n\n\nThat’s why we’re bringing together leading orca experts to explore the key threats facing this iconic species – from declining Chinook salmon to ocean noise and disturbance – and to discuss the policies and actions underway\, as well as what more can and should be done to support their recovery. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a public reception and engaging conversation about how we can work together to restore Chinook salmon and protect southern resident orcas. \n\n\n\nRegister now\n\n\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, May 27\, 6:30 – 8 p.m. PDT. Come for 6 p.m. PDT for a free reception with refreshments. \n\n\n\nWho: Valeria Vergara and Misty MacDuffee (Raincoast Conservation Foundation)\, Michael Jasny (Natural Resources Defence Council\, NRDC). Moderated by Sharlene Shaikh (David Suzuki Foundation). \n\n\n\nWhere: SFU Harbour Centre (Challenge Theatre\, Room 1900\, 515 West Hastings Street\, Vancouver).
