Mr. Speaker, for nearly 50 years, Mossom Creek Hatchery in Port Moody has been powered by outstanding volunteers dedicated to restoring salmon and educating generations of students.
After a devastating fire in 2013, the community rebuilt the hatchery stronger than ever. What began as a small hatchery is now a welcoming world-class education centre where students and community members experience the wonder of wild salmon and learn about the importance of watershed stewardship.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the extraordinary volunteers whose decades of dedication have brought salmon back to Mossom Creek and, of course, Kevin Ryan, president of the Burrard Inlet Marine Enhancement Society, who is here in Ottawa today.
