The River’s in Our Hands The FRDC is delighted to offer extra programming during long weekends with Summer Discovery Days! There’s so much to see and discover on these long summer days, and we hope you’ll join us! From industry to daily choices, humans have many impacts—both big and small—on the Fraser River and the life it supports. Join us to explore how water turbidity impacts plants and animals living in the river. Take part in a storytime and learn how plastic pollution affects wildlife. Debunk common environmental myths at our mythbusters station, and test your knowledge in a fun stacking game to learn more about recycling.
