Kinder Morgan Canada Celebrated World Rivers Day on September 27, 2009 at Burnaby’s Still Creek

More than 800 people attended the Rivers Day celebration at Still Creek in Burnaby on Sunday September 27, 2009.

Attendees at Kinder Morgan’s booth made pinecone bird feeders, had the chance to win a prize draw and talk to our staff about our operations and facilities in Burnaby.

One of more than 100 similar events around BC, and one of thousands of similar events in 36 countries around the world, attendees at the Still Creek event could take a raft trip down the creek, enjoy a wild salmon barbeque, plant native species along the creek bank, and enjoy activities put on by community partners.

Rivers Day originated in BC in 1980 as a means to celebrate the abundance of rivers, creeks and streams that are the ‘arteries of the planet’, according to Dr. Mark Angelo, Founder of Rivers Day. 2010 will mark the 30th anniversary of BC Rivers Day.

Still Creek has come a long way since the mid-1970s when it was one of the most polluted waterways in BC. Thanks to the efforts of Angelo and others, the creek now has some very significant fisheries and wildlife values.
