Late lunch.
Baked #WildCoho #salmon with #CaulifowerRice with #quinoa added. Not shown, homemade garlic bread. The wild salmon is from our Indigenous friends in Komoks ❤️ The dill & cauliflower used were harvested from our backyard garden. The lemon used is from big Auntie's greenhouse.

#DiabeticFriendly & heart healthy meal for me & Mom.
I'm making my brother bacon wrapped chicken drumsticks in a bit. He requested it this week 😊

Data logger being installed at Deer Creek Off-Channel earlier this month. Yes, it was as cold as it looks. Small parts were freezing to the cement while we worked!

With advice from DFO, and funding from Pacific Salmon Foundation, level and temperature data will help us monitor how the system is working and plan for future improvements to important downstream salmon habitat. #WildSalmon #CitizenScience
