Project Summary

The City of Quesnel will be implementing the salmon banner and interpretive signage project to increase awareness of salmon habitat in the area and provide citizens and tourists with information on how the community can be more conscious of habitat protection and salmon enhancement. The project will include designing and implementing new signage along the Fraser River corridor, as well as designing, researching and developing interpretive signage for the Old Fraser River Footbridge and along the river trail.

The City of Quesnel aims to increase awareness of the significant number of salmon that inhabit the Quesnel and Fraser River through media and public awareness campaigns associated with Communities in Bloom programming. By increasing public awareness of salmon and their habitat, individuals will become more sensitive to habitat conservation and salmon restoration.

Dear Sir, dear Lady,

when I visited Quesnel last month, I admired about these wonderful Salmon Banners. Please tell me, is there any chance to buy two of them and get it shipped to Germany?

Looking foreward to your answer,

Rainer J. Marschaus
