The PRSS operates three salmon enhancement facilities in the Powell River area:
1- The Lang Creek hatchery is located 10km from tidal on Lang Creek and is used for incubation purposes as well as rearing in the spring.


2- The Mill Hatchery is located at the Catalyst paper mill in Powell River. This site is also used for incubation as well as rearing. This facility has been increasingly effective over the last year, given its unique ability to accelerate incubation, and for its satellite capabilities where fish production is concerned. Being situated at the Catalyst paper mill site has provided more corporate exposure than would otherwise have been generated.


3- The Society also owns and operates a facility that sits on six acres at the mouth of Lang Creek. This facility is used for stock assessment as well as collection of broodstock, eggtakes and many educational experiences.





All three of these facilities are points of interest to the general public, tourists, and school classes. Most of our funding comes from D.F.O., however, we gratefully acknowledge great community support and a dedicated crew for our success and funding for many projects.
