The Seymour River is a river in North Vancouver, British Columbia which is notable for being several degrees warmer than other streams and lakes in the area. This is due to it being fed from a large reservoir backed up behind a dam from which a constant flow of water is released.[1]
The Seymour River has been the main water supply for North Vancouver since 1907. [2] The first intake was built in 1907 and the first Seymour Dam was constructed in 1927. [3] The present day Seymour Falls Dam was constructed 1961. Up to 40,000 fed coho fry are released above the dam each year by the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre.
