Ceho Fest supports cause |

YEAR ROUND, |. at schools
throughout ‘the North Shore, stu-
dents hatch salmon fry from eggs
in classroom aquariums, then
transfer the tiny fish to holding
pens in nearby streams to prepare
them for the life cycle that even-
tually brings them back via the
ocean to spawn in those same
streams.

It’s called the Salmonid
Enhancement Program and it’s the
bottom line of the North Shore’s
annual Coho Festival, all proceeds
from which go to support this
educational and environmental
project.

In addition, the festival provides
late summer fun of many kinds for
participants of every age.

Launched in 1979 as a modest
Sunday public picnic, the present
five-day party — this year from
Sept. 6 through Sept. 10 -—- has

North Shore News

grown to be one of the North
Shore’s biggest community events.

It now attracts thousands of
visitors from all over the Lower
Mainland and farther afield to
celebrate that wondez of nature —
the yearly return of the coho to
their North Shore spawning
waters.

The build-up during the week
preceding Coho Festival Sunday
focuses on Park Royal shopping
centre. it kicks off with a gala
reception on the evening of Sept. 6
in Park Royal North with a buffet,
refreshments, music, entertainers,
door prizes and a grand-prize lot-
tery.

The next three days in Park
Royal feature salmon-related ex-
hibits with hands-on displays, con-
tests for the kids and an art com-
petition devoted to the salmon
theme and juried by noted artists.

Sunday, Sept. 10, is the climax

of the festival at Ambleside Park.

For joggers there’s the nire-mile
Coho Rur to Kitsilano (with return
transportation to the park).

Hikers can take the two-hour
Coho Walk down from Cleveland
Dam and the Capilano Salmon
Haichery along the scenic wooded
banks of the Capilano River. Shut-
tle buses take you up to the dam.

At the park itseif festivities go
non-stop from early morning until
evening. Among the highlights are
the pancake breakfast, the all-day
salmon barbecue, the beer garden,
the kite-flying contest, puppets,
clewns and continuous outdoor
stage performances.

Co-sponsors with the non-profit
Coho Festival Society are the West
Vancouver Chamber of Commerce
and CHQM kadio, supported by
the West Vancouver Community
Arts Council.

Best buys on the N. Shore

both. When we get serene, we like
to eat, and one of my favorite
snacks is pate.

I’m offended if the pate is bitter
— it should be mellow as fresh
cream. It should also also have
good bread and unsalted butter
served with it, and it demands
some crisp vegetables -~~English
cucumbers for me, please!

I don’t make my own pate any
more — the recipes make far too
much and it freezes poorly. Try the
cognac pate sold at the deli at
Lynn Valley Centre. See? My
budget occasionally falls apart!

Jazz’n'roll with

the JAZZMAN-

We had our prune tree pruned

have beaten me to the tree every
year. They got the apples, though.
