Canon Creek

Very difficult to approach the monitoring location. Thick tree/vegetation. Recommended bug spray, and also recommended to monitor this location in the team.

Can not access this site- there is no water to sample and the site is hidden behind a snow bank.

The site is currently inaccessible for water monitoring due to deep snow accumulation.

The creek is not moving. The vegetation is still thick but the sample site can be accessed from both sides now.

Falls colours start to appear. Uneven ground is hidden by tall grass.

Summer weather at the end of September!
Watch for road traffic.

Oil sheen wasn’t present in last 2 visits. Suspect the rain fall event prior those visit might have flush the creek of contaminants which might be introduced by the upstream quarry business.
Creek would be near impossible to reach due to the thick brush on both side. Neighbor keep a path mowed for access

Not much change since last visit. Testing site is tucked in heavy brush downstream of bridge.

Lots of frogs! The creek is surrounded by heavy brush. A downstream neighbour has mowed a path for water rangers.

Previous monitoring left a film instrument, which wasn’t present this time. Lots of frogs in the vicinity.
Late monitoring, dusk conditions create hazards
