Mossom Creek

Prayers, positive thoughts, gratitude and love needed.
 
We are so grateful that Brian D came though his surgery with flying colors.  He is such a positive man and we are so lucky to have him in our Rotary Club.
 
Terry's surgery was a success and we hope he heals quickly.
 
Paul - Past President Meghan's husband has had his heart surgery, but he is not out of the woods yet.  The surgery went well but there have been a few complications and we will keep Paul in our thoughts and prayers.  This was a major surgery but we know that Paul is strong and has the love and support from his family and friends.
 
Gary you are always in our thoughts and prayers.  You are a trouper that is for sure !!!!

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Mossom Creek Hatchery Accessibility Upgrade Project, I want to express our sincere thanks for your attendance at yesterday’s event. Your support in this project made the upgrades to the hatchery and education centre possible!

It was a momentous occasion to mark the achievement of Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (Gold) and share our continued commitment to making accessibility improvements that will help all people feel welcome and able to participate in the important work taking place at Mossom Creek Hatchery. As I said Tuesday, we have more work to do to ensure that accessibility and inclusiveness to the surrounding area is addressed so that everyone visiting can enjoy the nature that abounds here and participate in salmon enhancement activities and educational opportunities.

I’d like to extend a special thank you to Tracy Green who was key to making this event a big success and the BIMES board members who helped, including our President, Kevin Ryan, Ruth Foster, Rod MacVicar, Jen Madoc-Jones and Neil Laffra, and our Mossom Creek volunteers Paul Steeves, Brian and June Larson. They all work tirelessly to make the hatchery and education centre a special place to visit in Port Moody.
 
We wanted to share photos from the event taken by photographer Paul Steeves: View the photos here
The TriCity News wrote a story about the event: Here's why Rick Hansen visited Port Moody's Mossom Creek fish hatchery
Global News covered the event during their 6 PM news hour last night - we hope you had a chance to view it! We will be sure to share the clip and any other news as we see it posted online.
 
With gratitude for your involvement.
 
Sincerely,
Pat Dennett
