The Bell-Irving Kanaka
Creek Fish Hatchery was es-
tablished almost three de-
cades ago in Kanaka Creek
Regional Park, its history
dates back much further.
The land it sits on was
originally inhabited by
the Kwantlen people.
During the 19th century,
it was settled by native
Hawaiians who worked for
the Hudsons Bay Company,
which led to the origin
of the creeks name.
The name of the creek
comes from the practice of
hiring labourers, or Kanakas,
from the Hawaiian Islands.
Later on, the land be-
came a working farm.
The property it sits on
and the creek was farmed
by the Cuthbert fam-
ily in the 20s and 30s.
After a couple of own-
ership transitions, the
property was sold to
Metro Vancouver and
turned into a hatchery.
It was dedicated by
Lieutenant Governor
Bell-Irving in 1983.
The hatchery is oper-
ated by Metro Vancouver
Parks, the habitat enhance-
ment branch of the federal
Department of Fisheries
and Oceans, the sheries
branch of the provincial
Ministry of the Environment
and the Kanaka Education
and Environmental
Partnership Society. Over
its decades of operation,
its raised millions of sh.
The hatchery has put
close to eight million sh
through. It focusses on
chum and coho salmon
and raises pink salmon
every second year. On
average, the hatchery
releases 200,000 chum and
200,000 coho every year.
That doesnt mean each
year is the same, though.
The numbers vary consider-
ably depending on weather
and water conditions.
The hatchery is located
at the north end of the
park, near several hiking
trails featuring picturesque
views. McClain said they
welcome drop-in visits
from hikers and tourists.
The hatchery is open
seven days a week. More
formal tours are offered
Saturday afternoons from
1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Group
tours can also be booked
for other times by calling
604-530-4983. The hatch-
ery welcomes volunteers
as well. More information
can be found by calling
604-462-8643 or visit-
ing the Kanaka Education
and Environmental
Partnership Society web-
site, www.keeps.org.

The mountain biking
scene in Maple Ridge and
Pitt Meadows has exploded
lately, and Maple Ridge
Cycle owner /operator Troy
Scott said it isnt hard to
nd good trails locally.
Off pretty much every
road from Dewdney Trunk
up to Mission, theres some-
thing going on, he said.
Scott said theres some-
thing for every mountain
biker, from those who pre-
fer serene at rides to those
who love steep downhill
tracks with lots of jumps.
Its anything from rid-
ing on the dikes to expert
trails to jumping, he said.
There are a lot of bal-
anced trails, jump trails,
all that sort of thing.
The trails in Golden Ears
Provincial Park in particular
offer a wide range of op-
tions for people of all skill
levels. The park features ev-
erything from singletrack to
doubletrack to wide paved
or gravel roads. There are
steep paths that will chal-
lenge experienced riders,
but there are also easy
ways down for those who
are just getting started or
prefer watching the scenery
to speeding down hills.
Its no different than
skiing, Scott said. You

For beginning riders,
the Mike Lake area inside
the park has proven to be
a great place to learn.
Mike Lake, thats quite
popular, Scott said.
There are a lot of trails
that branch off of that.
Expert riders can
check out The Woodlot
near the Mission bor-
der, which is world-
renowned for its trails.
Some of the best
trail-builders in the
world do a lot of work
there, Scott said.
Scott said mountain bik-
ing can be a pretty easy
sport to learn, and our
wide variety of beginner-
friendly trails helps to make
it even simpler to pick up.
The biggest thing
is just getting expo-
sure to it, he said.
Scott said one of the top
ways to get going is just
to drop into one of the
local bike shops and talk
with the staff to see what
equipment and trails are
best suited to your needs.
Get into the shop and
talk to the people, he
said. Theyll put you
in the type of bike for
what you want to do.
He said the areas wide
variety of trails makes it
easy to start slow, gradu-
ally gain skill and experi-
ence and work your way
up to the toughest ones if
thats what you want to do,
but there are also enough
easy trails to keep those
who prefer a simpler ride
happy for a long time.
Theres something for
everyone, Scott said.
The skys the limit.

If youre looking
to check out the
shing scene
going with a
licensed guide
might be a good
way to go.
John Simms of Flyshing
With John said licensed
guides can considerably
enhance your shing ex-
perience, as they know the
area, which sh hang out
where and the best way to
go about getting each kind.
As a guide, you have to
know whats available on
what river and what lake,
Simms said. You have
to be licensed with the
provincial government;
theres a test to write.
Keeping current on the
shing conditions on the
Lower Mainlands wa-
terways can be a pretty
comprehensive task for
guides like Simms who
cover a vast swathe of area
on their shing expeditions.
I go all the way from the
Fraser River to the Pitt River,
from the Harrison River to
Alouette Lake, Simms said.
Each of those areas has
its own hotspots and types
of sh to target, which can
mean that each shing trip
is a unique experience.
We do sockeye on the
Fraser, Simms said. We
do dry yshing on the
Alouette River in the sum-
mer, thats very elegant.
Some sh, like sockeye,
are only available in specic
years when they come back
in strong enough numbers,
but there are always some
types of sh available.
My season starts
around April and goes
to November, Simms
said. There are pink
every second year, coho
and chum every year.
Simms said each shing
spot has its own unique
charms, but his favourite
is the Harrison River.
The Harrison is my
home stream, he said.
I really enjoy it.
Fishing with a guide
doesnt have to be all
that expensive, and you
dont have to be expe-
rienced. Simms charges
$250 for at least ve hours
of shing for up to three
people, including rods,
reels, lines, ies and life
jackets, lunch and free
casting lessons if desired.
The tackles all sup-
plied, the lunch is sup-
plied, he said.
Simms said the chief
advantage of hiring a guide
is the knowledge they
can provide, though. He
tries to be as generous as
possible in that area with
what hes learned from his
eight years as a guide.
Youre paying for the
knowledge, he said. I have
no problem giving lots of
knowledge to people.
Simms said hes worked
with everyone from begin-
ning shermen to experts.
Ive had a wide range,
he said. Ive had expert
shermen from England
who just wanted a guide,
Ive had a guy from China
who had never cast a
y before. He hauled in
a 20-pound salmon.
For Simms, guided ysh-
ing is a chance to do what
he loves and make new
contacts along the way.
Its fun to meet people,
he said. Its an enjoy-
able experience for me.

Enjoying the picturesque
qualities of B.C. scenery is
one of the reasons to visit
and live in the West Coast.
And one of the largest
and most popular of those
reasons is Golden Ears
Provincial Park, an incredi-
ble 62,540 hectares of wide-
ly undeveloped wilderness.
Named for the twin peaks
of Mount Blanshard, which
are said to shine gold from
the setting winter sun,
Golden Ears lies in the
Coast Mountains, north of
the mighty Fraser River.
It extends north through
untouched mountain
areas to the wall of
mountain peaks and val-
leys which divide it and
Garibaldi Provincial Park.
The park houses one of
the largest campgrounds
in the province with 353
vehicle/tent campsites
welcoming visitors to two
locations inside the park,
at Alouette Lake and Gold
Creek campgrounds, back-
country or walk-in camping
at Alder Flats on the West
Canyon Trail and Panorama
Ridge on the Golden Ears
trail, with advisories that
some of the more out
of the way sites do not
have facilities provided.
Fifty-ve campsites also
adorn sandy North Beach,
an open beach in front of
the forested sites, and a
great place to watch meteor
showers in early August.
Underneath a canopy of
second growth western
hemlock, western red cedar
and Douglas r trees, camp-
ers and day trippers can be
found exploring the park
on foot, by boat, on their
bikes and on horseback.
Campers can swim at all
campgrounds and day-
use areas and canoeing is
popular on Alouette Lake
with rentals available in
the Alouette day-use area.
Freshwater shing is also
available at Alouette Lake,
Mike Lake and Gold Creek.
A four-lane cement
surface boat launch at
the south end of Alouette
Lake has overnight
parking available for
vehicles and trailers.
Boaters should note,
there is no nearby marina
to moor boats overnight.
The highlight of the
park is the scenery and
the highlight of Golden
Ears is the campers ability
to enjoy the exposure to
so much of what makes
British Columbia famous.
An extensive network
of trails through which
campers can enjoy the
scenery and explore
the area makes up over
20-kilometres of gravel/
dirt paved adventure.
Hiking, cycling and
horseback riding can be
done on any one of a series
of trails which make up the
web throughout the park.
Golden Ears has the
most available hiking trails
this close to Vancouver.
Over a dozen trails lead
to various destinations
throughout the park,
including the 8-mile/12-km
one-way journey to the
Golden Ears themselves.
Near the park headquar-
ters, small Mike Lake is
the starting point for the
Alouette Mountain Hiking
Trail 12-miles/20-km
return to the summit
of Alouette Mountain.
Once nished, you can
enjoy a panoramic view
Picturesque Wilderness:
Golden Ears Park
across the Fraser Valley
into Washington and west
across the Strait of Georgia
to Vancouver Island.
A shorter possibility is the
2.6-mile/4.2-km Mike Lake
Trail. Search the understo-
rey for signs of old logging
equipment and wildowers
such as the delicate pink
azalea, with petals shaped
like ve-pointed stars.
Golden Ears is a desired
destination and begin-
ning of a British Columbia
adventure for the rst
time and return traveler.
Golden Ears Provincial
Park lies in the Coast
Mountains 11 km north
of Maple Ridge on the
north side of the Fraser
River. Access to the park
is by vehicle via Highway
7 or Dewdney Trunk Road
through the District of
Maple Ridge. If heading
west, turn right onto 232nd
and if heading east, turn
left onto 232nd; then turn
right onto Fern Crescent
and follow road into park.
CAMPGROUND DATES:
Alouette campground is
open from June 18 - Sept. 6.

The Maple Ridge Arts
Centre and Theatre
opened its doors in May
2003, following more
than 13 years of lobbying
by the arts community.
The 43,000-square-foot
building was the districts
rst multi-purpose arts
centre, incorporating
facilities for both per-
forming and visual arts.
It features a 500-seat main
stage theatre, 165-seat
multi-purpose studio the-
atre, an art gallery, meeting
rooms and a variety of stu-
dio space for visual artists.
The equipment was
paid for by a fund-raising
campaign that attracted
$2.2 million in sponsor-
ships, pledges, dona-
tions and grants.
Having a cultural facility
in the heart of a community
not only provides a focal
point for the arts, it sends
the message that creativity
and cultural participation
and education are a high
priority for the municipal-
ity, says ACT executive
director Lindy Sisson.
There is no longer a
need to always have to at-
tend events in downtown
Vancouver, you can now
stay at home and experi-
ence the best in the Arts.

MAPLE RIDGE BURRARDS
The Maple Ridge Burrards senior
A mens lacrosse team plays in
the Western Lacrosse Association,
the top summer box lacrosse
league in Western Canada.
The team dates back to 1937 when
they were founded as the Vancouver
Burrard Olympics. The name was

(1.5 kilometres; suggested hiking
time: 3/4 hour; elevation change:
175 metres). Good views. In
wetter seasons a picturesque
waterfall tumbles down a cliff
just beyond the Lake Viewpoint.
West Canyon Trail (Golden Ears
Trail): West Canyon parking lot
to Alder Flats. Hiking trail only
(5 kilometres; suggested time: 2
1/2 hours; elevation change: 250
metres). Trail follows an old log-
ging grade for 3.2 kilometres then
swings uphill. At this point a short
trail drops downhill to Lower Falls.
Golden Ears Trail: West Canyon
parking lot to summit of North
Ear. Hiking trail only (12 kilome-
tres; suggested time: 7 hours;
elevation change: 1,500 metres).
Follow the West Canyon Trail
from the parking lot to Alder
Flats. Beyond Alder Flats the trail
switchbacks upward on an old
logging road then heads steeply
uphill to Panorama Ridge. Most
of the elevation gain is made in
this stretch. Listen for the nasal
squeak of pikas in the rock slides.
Impressive view of Pitt Lake to
the west and mountains to the
east and north are possible from
Panorama Ridge. The ascent of
the North Ear is made from the
left (east) side across a permanent
snoweld. Extreme caution is
advised and proper equipment
is recommended. Drinking water
may be scarce in dry weather be-
tween Alder Flats and the snow-
eld. The round trip to Golden
Ears is an overnight expedition for
all but the ttest hikers. Overnight
camping areas are located at
Alder Flats and on Panorama
Ridge around the mountain shel-
ter which, itself, can accommo-
date up to 8 people. Expect snow
on Panorama Ridge into July.
This trail is long and strenuous
and should only be attempted by
experienced, well-equipped back-
country travellers. No open res
are permitted in the backcountry.
Lower Falls Trail: Gold Creek
parking lot to Lower Falls. Hiking
trail only (2.7 kilometres; sug-
gested time: 1 hour; elevation
change: minimal). A very popular,
easy walk along Gold Creek to
the 10-metre high Lower Falls. A
beach area halfway to the falls is
a good spot for a picnic or a sun-
bathe. Some of the best scenery
in the park is visible just beyond.
Rolley Lake
There are two short walking
trails in the park. Lakeside Loop
is approximately 40 minutes
return and Rolley Falls is ap-
proximately 10 minutes. For your
own safety and the preservation
of the park, obey posted signs
and keep to designated trails.
Shortcutting trails destroys
plant life and soil structure.
Kanaka Creek
Kanaka Creek Regional Park of-
fers beautiful walking trails off
of 256th Street. Rainbow Bridge
and marshes are located at the
south end, Cliff Falls at the north.
This linear park is in several
distinct units. The best trails are
at the Riverfront and Cliff Falls
sections of the park. First time
visitors are recommended to
visit Riverfront. Take Lougheed
Highway to the trafc lights at
240th Street in Maple Ridge.
Turn south towards the river and
follow River Road west 3 km to
the park entrance on your left.
Cliff falls
The focal point of Kanaka Creek
Regional Park is the falls, a spec-
tacular water canyon popular as
a picnic spot. The Canyon Trail
offers a treasure trove of natural
wonders in a short distance.
Nursery logs, sword ferns, tower-
ing Cedar, Hemlock and Douglas
Fir trees serve as a backdrop for
the tumbling and cascading creek.
Unusual tailed frogs and the dip-
per bird will be found along the
creek. Intriguing water-sculpted
rock and sandstone formations
are visible on both branches
of the creek. Because of the
precipitous cliffs, it is absolutely
essential to follow the directional
signs and not to stray beyond
marked boundaries on any part
of the Cliff Falls trail system.
The park entrance is located at
25100 116 Avenue, Maple Ridge.
Hayward Lake
A trail encircling the Hayward
Lake Reservoir offers a scenic
day hike. The east side trail is
10 km long, but there are other
interesting stops on either end.
There is a slight downhill ad-
vantage to hiking the east side
trail north to south, but if you
plan to hike the entire length,
consider using two vehicles
and parking one at each end.
Park at the Railroad Trail park-
ing lot west of the Ruskin
dam. Travel east on Dewdney
Trunk Road, then turn south
after Stave Falls dam.

Whether its security,
marketing the downtown
or even power washing
the streets or scrubbing
off grafti, the Downtown
Maple Ridge Business
Improvement Association
is the eyes and ears of the
shop owners and operators
in central Maple Ridge, for
another ve years at least.
Maple Ridge council has
given preliminary approval
to a bylaw that will provide
funding to allow the BIA to
carry on from 2012 to 2017.
That will create the
framework to allow a
higher levy, raising the
total take next year from
its 1,000 or so members to
$193,500 from $163,500.
Ineke Boekhorst, execu-
tive director with the BIA,
said before requesting a
renewal of the bylaw, the
association asked its mem-
bers earlier this year if it
wanted the BIA to continue.
Of the 10 per cent who
replied, all wanted the
association to keep doing
the work its been do-
ing the past ve years.
When the BIA was rst cre-
ated in 2006 the focus was
on crime and safety. Thats
improved in the down-
town, thanks to a $50,000
budget this year for that,
provided by Maple Ridge.
And thanks to the
$50,000 annual facade-
improvement program,
the place is looking good.
Now we feel that the
downtown looks a lot
better, we feel that the
crime rate looks a lot
better. Now we feel its
time to do marketing.
That will be directed
outside of Maple Ridge to
encourage newcomers,
but also aim at convincing
Maple Ridge residents of
the merits of the core area.
Boekhorst considers the
facade improvement pro-
gram one of the highlights
of the past ve years.
This year, the asso-
ciation will dole out
$50,000 to eight busi-
nesses to help them in
their spruce-up efforts.
That, in turn, will gener-
ate renovations worth
$3 million as businesses
use the free money to

Complete reconstruction
of 224th Street and two
blocks along Lougheed
Highway in the downtown,
thanks to the districts
Downtown Enhancement
Program, has also helped.
But its now up to the
BIA to ensure that busi-
nesses keep up their
pride in their premises,
Boekhorst pointed out.
In a report to council,
economic development
manager Sandy Blue said
the BIA wants to broaden
its focus and follow the
districts strategic plan.
So far, the municipality
has spent nearly $60 mil-
lion on a new library, arts
centre, youth centre and
Memorial Peace Park over
the past several years.
Combined with the Smart
Growth on the Ground-
based plan, which calls for
an eco-friendly downtown,
more than 1,500 new
condos have been built
in the downtown area.
Theres lots going
on, said Boekhorst.
Every spring theres
Sparkle Week, a ve-day
blitz complemented by a
BIA-funded power-washing
of downtown sidewalks,
which eventually will
cover every pedestrian
path in the downtown.
Two other tasks taken on
by the BIA are the mural
program, and the speak-
ers series, where members
can network and learn.
As well, downtown Maple
Ridges old Spirit street
banners got a second life as
reusable shopping bags.
About three years ago the
Downtown Maple Ridge
BIA, in partnership with
MeadowRidge and Haney
Rotary Clubs, Maple Ridge-
Pitt Meadows Arts Council,
District of Maple Ridge, City
of Pitt Meadows and School
District No. 42 produced
about 85 nylon street
banners which helped
create a festive, colourful
atmosphere for downtown,
leading up to and during
the 2010 Games. The ban-
ners were all individually
hand-painted by school
children throughout the
school district. Eventually
these unique designs had
to be retired, so rather
than sending them to the
landll, with the help of
the Alouette Correctional
Centre for Women, they
were transformed into reus-
able nylon shopping bags.
Converting the old ban-
ners into reusable nylon
shopping bags rather
than using new fabric:
Avoided making 21,600
plastic bags each year.
Avoided sending 301
kg (663 lb) of ny-
lon to the landll.
Saved up to 363
gallons of oil.
Freed up 80 trees to
capture and store CO2
from other sources
for a full year.
All proceeds from the
sale of the shopping bags
goes to the development
of new green spaces in
downtown Maple Ridge.
The shopping bags
come in many different
colours and sizes. Small
bags retail for $6 and large
bags for $8, or two for
$15, three for $20. They
are available from Good
Company (11987 224 St)
and Bodacious Baskets
(22321 Dewdney Trunk Rd).

The Greater Vancouver
Zoo will be the theme
for this years Meadows
Maze in Pitt Meadows.
Being one of the largest
corn mazes in the Pacic
Northwest, this years
theme will
be com-
prised of two
mazes with
6.3 kilome-
tres of paths
designed to
challenge
the most
directionally adept.
Every year the Hopcott
familys 17-acre eld
is turned into another
distinct design using a
global positioning system
(GPS). A tractor carves the
maze when the corn is still
small. It is estimated that
each maze takes one and
a half hours to complete.
In addition to the maze,
there are lots of fun activi-
ties for children, including
a petting
zoo, a bee
observatory,
hay wagon
rides, or a
barrel train
ride through
the maze
for those
who dont want to get lost.
This year the maze wont
be open until August
13th due to the springs
cold and wet weather.

Looking for a new way to
experience B.C.? Viewing it
from the air might be just
the thing. Chris Georgas,
the owner and operator of
Pacic Rim Aviation, said
his company, which ies
out of the Pitt Meadows
airport, offers a wide
variety of aerial sightsee-
ing (or ightseeing) trips.
Some of their prominent
trips include one from
Pemberton to Whistler,
one from Sechelt to
Powell River, one over to
Nanaimo and one up the
Fraser Valley to Hope.
We y around the local
universe here, Georgas
said. On an average
ight, we go for about
one and a half hours.
Georgas said the com-
panys planes are perfect
for ightseeing, as their
design allows passengers
to get an unparalleled view
of the ground below.

FINDINGS
Its great visibility, he
said. We y high-wing
aircraft, so the wings up
above their heads. Its
perfect for photos.
Their ightseeing trips
also span a wide variety
of heights, so passen-
gers can see everything
from mountaintops to
forests and rivers.
The planes can y at
all altitudes, so you get a
great view of the Lower
Mainland and the local
mountains, Georgas said.
It can be quite a re-
laxing trip as well.
The planes are very
comfortable, Georgas said.
Pacic Rim mostly
focuses on pilot training
and charter services, but
Georgas said ightseeing
has become a growing part
of their business thanks to
its increasing popularity.
Weve been doing this
for over eight years and
had great response, he
said. We do dozens of
ights per month.
Georgas said a ightsee-
ing trip has proven quite
a popular attraction for
tourists, as it provides a
different perspective on
B.C.s spectacular vistas.
Its a great way for people
from other countries to
see the Lower Mainland,
he said. We have people
from all over the world.
One of the most popular
trips for foreign visitors
heads downtown, providing
an aerial view of Vancouver
and its surroundings.
We orbit the down-
town core, then go to
Seymour, Grouse, usually
out to Barnston Island,
Georgas said. Its great
for overseas visitors.
Flightseeing isnt just for
tourists, though. Georgas
said plenty of locals have
caught the ightseeing bug
as well, and the Golden Ears
Bridge has made it easier
for many to check it out.
We have a lot of people
that come from the
other side of the Fraser;
Langley, White Rock,
Abbotsford, he said.
White Rock, its only about
a 30-minute drive now.
The wide variety of trips
offered mean if you like
what you see on your rst
ightseeing expedition,
there are plenty of other
areas you can try. The Pitt
Meadows airports facili-
ties, including the Runway
Caf restaurant, can also
help turn a ightseeing
trip into the anchor point
of an enjoyable day.
You can spend the
morning on the deck sip-
ping coffee and watching
airplanes take off and land,
Georgas said. We have a
lot of repeat business.

with ropes and cables in the
treetops. It includes many
of the challenging courses
and features, including
including Tarzan swings,
zip lines, scramble nets,
swinging logs and others
suspended between six and
60 feet above the ground.
Everyone must demon-
strate the ability to use
the equipment before
access to any course, and
every tree-top adventure
begins with a navigation
session that readies you
to tackle four colour-
coded course sections.
The rhythm of moving
through games comes
naturally as you traverse zip
lines, rope swings, scram-
bling walls, hanging nets,
wobbly bridges, and other
suspended surprises.
The skill level and height
of each course section
increases as you progress.
Conquer Monkido to boost
self-condence and enjoy
a healthy outdoor lifestyle.
Play is an active method
of learning, which is why
children naturally excel at
climbing and scrambling
across our cleverly de-
signed obstacles. WildPlays
course elements combine
outdoor fun and chal-
lenge in a way that allows
children to explore their
limits, feel empowered, and
hone their physical skills.
The Monkido Kids course
is lower than where the big
kids play. Our special de-
sign ensures kids can reach
safety lines while moving
freely through their one
and a half hour adventure.
Chaperones use the wide
walking trails beneath the
course to observe their
children. Private guides are
available with advance no-
tice, additional fees apply.
The business is run on a
reservation basis. People
using the course have to
book ahead, limiting the
number of adventure-
seekers on site. However,
there will still be some
walk-in business.
Hours are from 10 a.m. to
7 p.m. during peak season
and 6 p.m. in off season.
The park is open
year-round.
