One partnership we are proud to have is with the Shaw Centre for the Salish Sea. Each year we donate salmon fry to enrich their exhibits and educational programs, showcasing the wonders of our local marine life. When you visit their aquarium, you will find a large round tank with shimmering Chinook Salmon fry swimming around. Here, you can read about the stages of salmon and their role in the Salish Sea as a keystone species.
Each year, volunteers from the Sooke Salmon Enhancement Society participate in the Sooke Harbourside Lions Club Annual Duck Day Race, a yearly event that brings together families, friends, and local businesses in support of the community. As dedicated stewards of the environment, our volunteers happily help guide the rubber ducks along the scenic Sooke River and collecting the ducks at the end of the race.
A local program we have is Fish in the Classroom. We donate Coho Salmon eggs to schools to raise from eggs to fry until they are ready for release. This provides a hands-on learning experience to watch part of the life-cycle of salmon. Read more about the program by clicking the button below.

We are proud to continue the vision of Jack Brooks through our work today. As a dedicated steward of salmon and the ocean, each and every volunteer today upholds the same commitment to preserving and enhancing our precious marine habitats, safeguarding their biodiversity, and fostering a sustainable future for all.
We proudly collaborate with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Juan de Fuca Salmon Restoration Society, and the Capital Regional District. Our shared vision is brought to life at the Charters River Interpretive Centre, nestled on Sooke River Road, where the Juan de Fuca Salmon Restoration Society operates with a commitment to the conservation of and education about salmon and their vital roles.
This collaborative effort extends beyond organizational partnerships. We are grateful for the ongoing support from the Pacific Salmon Foundation, local businesses, and a dedicated team of volunteers. Their tireless work, coupled with the generosity of numerous individuals who contribute to our cause, has made our new site an amazing example of ongoing community involvement and commitment.
