Additional Information

Other comments and reflections
Mosquito Creek is a salmon bearing creek adjacent to Fell Avenue and just north of Marine Drive. The Trans Canada Trail runs alongside the creek. Right now this area is grass and Himalayan blackberry, but with help it can become an oasis for birds and bees. For more information, contact Alyssa Semczyszyn at Evergreen.
