Dedicated to salmon conservation, enhancement and education on Northern Vancouver Island since 1983.
It's all about salmon here at the Quatse Salmon Stewardship Centre. Our interpretive gallery features aquaria, a fun-filled habitat display complete with woody debris and many of our salmon's prey and predators, and information on challenges to salmon survival in freshwater and ocean environments.
Regular workshops and courses on stream stewardship, habitat enhancement and fish culture are held in the classroom, and tours of the hatchery will open your eyes to a world of salmon that few people get the chance to see.
Watch our events announcements for children's programs, special tours and community events, and learn about the life cycle of the salmon and what you can do to help salmon survive some of the many challenges they face throughout their lives.
The Quatse Salmon Stewardship Centre is operated by the Northern Vancouver Island Salmonid Enhancement Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to salmon conservation and education on northern Vancouver Island.
The centre includes a classroom, interpretive gallery, wet and dry labs, administrative offices and encompasses the Quatse River Hatchery and associated fish production and rearing facilities.
