Over 30 years of Environmental Awareness and Stewardship

The Port Moody Ecological Society is a 100% volunteer based organization whose mandate is to operate a salmon hatchery and water quality laboratory located in the City of Port Moody.

We have been working tirelessly for over 30 years to foster a love of our environment through education and outreach in the Tri-Cities.

2025 Fingerling Festival

Join us for the Port Moody Ecological Society's 33rd annual Fingerling Festival on Saturday, May 3rd! This free, family-friendly event runs from 11 AM to 3 PM at the Noons Creek Salmon Hatchery and the adjacent Port Moody Recreation Complex, located at 300 Ioco Road. Help us release 16,000 salmon fry into Noons Creek and explore our exhibitor fair featuring over 45 organizations, including many dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability. Don’t miss out on a day of fun and learning!

Volunteer With Us

We are currently in need of people to help raise Coho and Chum salmon. Specifically, we need people who are available weekday mornings, are looking for long-term commitment, and would like to learn a new skill that actively benefits our lands and waters.

We are also always accepting new volunteers to join us on Saturdays from 9-11. Not sure if either of these are for you? Drop in on a Saturday and check us out!

Educational Programs

We encourage school and community groups to engage with us by undertaking one of the many courses and educational tours that are offered throughout the year.

These courses include knowledge on local flora and fauna, as well as salmon rearing and ecosystem enhancement. They are ideal for learners of all ages, and operate at $10 per participant.
