Volunteer with SSISC
Interested in volunteering with us? We’d love to have you! We are currently in the process of fleshing out our volunteer strategy, but we want to hear from you, and we’ll be in touch soon.
Crab Team
This spring, in collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), we’re recruiting local volunteers to help us survey for European Green Crab in Howe Sound, which will involve setting multiple crab traps at pre-determined sites, and then returning 24 hours later to collect & record data.

Community Weed Pulls
Community weed pulls run during the summer season at various locations throughout the corridor. Everyone is invited to come out and help us tackle specific invasive species infestations. It is a great way to get some exercise, get to know your neighbours, and help the environment at the same time.
All tools, gloves, and snacks are provided. Just bring yourself and your energy! Upcoming events are posted below. Sign up for our newsletter to stay current on all events.
