A salmon’s journey

This walk begins at the Whitehorse Fish Ladder, where Chinook Salmon must navigate around the Whitehorse Dam after swimming almost 3,000 km upriver towards their spawning areas. Join fisheries biologist Elizabeth MacDonald, vice-chair of the Yukon Salmon Sub-Committee, to learn about salmon ecology and habitat and how the dam has changed their journey.

This event involves walking up to 5 km on the paved Millennium trail. Polarized sunglasses are recommended to better see salmon in the water.

Meeting location: Whitehorse Rapids Fish Ladder (end of Nisutlin Drive in Riverdale).
