This article is from the July 1971 edition of Western Fish and Wildlife magazine. It details the efforts by Freeman King, Howard English and others to convince Victoria residents to conserve water so that there was enough for the water board to release water into the Goldstream River to save the salmon run during a particularly dry year. Freeman King was a local naturalist after whom the nature house in Goldstream Park was named, as well as the Francis/King Regional Park (Thomas Francis/Freeman King). Howard English is the namesake of our beloved hatchery. For more history about Freeman King and our regional parks click here. More than 50 years later, we still use water released from the CRD regional water supply to control the water flow for salmon spawning in the Goldstream River. >>CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE.
