Fund Raising Flea Market: Feb 18 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Last summer's flood destroyed all our sampling equipment at the fish ladder. We are raising funds to replace the lost gear. We are seeking donations of any new or gently used items for the event including clothing, furniture, small appliances, knick knacks, music CD’s, DVD/Blu-ray movies, etc... You can get a head start on Spring Cleaning and help the SRA at the same time! Please contact our office if you have any items you'd like to donate:

Office: (902) 865-9238

Fax: (902) 864-3564

Email: sackvillerivers@ns.sympatico.ca

And, of course, on the 18th come on out and shop for bargains between 11 AM & 2 PM!

Thank you for your support.

February 2 is World Wetlands Day!

Wetlands are critically important environments. They mitigate floods, sequester carbon, provide habitats for innumerable species. Humans must do whatever we can to protect wetlands.
