Drumroll, please! We`re thrilled that the votes are in, and our beloved mascot officially has a name: Eddy. Thank you to everyone who participated in choosing the perfect name. π
π Much like an eddy shapes the flow of a river, Eddy the mascot embodies the interconnectedness of nature and Rivershedβs commitment to connect, protect, and restore the Fraser Watershed. Stay tuned for information on when and where you can meet Eddy at community events this summer!

May 05 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Two-Spirit, Transgender and Gender-Diverse People. We encourage our network to take time today and every day to learn and spread awareness about the human rights crisis of gender-based and racialized violence taking place in Canada.
If youβre looking for a place to start, we recommend exploring the Safe Passage initiative by @nwac_canada, a community-driven, trauma-informed, and survivor centered initiative that tracks cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, transgender, gender-diverse, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+), monitors ongoing safety concerns, provides distinctions-based safety resources, educates the public and media about the MMIWG2S+ genocide, and commemorates and honours those who have been lost.

Young salmon in the Fraser Watershed are in the midst of a β¨ glow-up β¨ as they transition from Alevin to Fry.
Emerging from the redd to feed on small insects and other prey, the newly independent salmon fry begin to display species-specific parr marks, which are dark ovals or bands on their sides that blend the young fish into their surroundings to help avoid the eyes of hungry predators.
Some species will linger in freshwater (eg. coho and sockeye), while others immediately embark on an epic ocean-bound adventure (eg. pink salmon). π
Want to learn more about the stages of a salmon`s life? Check out our blog post titled βSalmon Lifecyclesβ at the link in our bio!
