Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located near Kamloops. It's known for one of the largest sockeye salmon run in North America.
The Park is named after Roderick Haig-Brown, a Canadian writer and conservationist.
A "dominant" year occurs every four years when millions of sockeye salmon spawn in the Adams River. The last dominant run was in October 2006, the next in 2010, with "sub-dominant" runs in 2007 and 2011. The Adams River Salmon Society coordinates the celebration known as the "Salute to the Sockeye" during the dominant years.
