Join Friends of Kananaskis for their Speaker
Series on March 23rd from 7-8 pm at University
of Calgary, Earth Sciences - ES 162, 844 Campus
Place NW. The event is by donation (suggested
amount of $5). Registration is not required via
the ACC calendar to attend, simply show up to
the event location.
Lesley Peterson is Trout Unlimited Canada's
Alberta Biologist, based in Calgary. She is a
member of the provincial Whirling Disease
Committee which was established in late summer
2016 in response to the first detection of
Whirling Disease in Canada. Whirling disease,
which affects salmonid such as trout and
whitefish, was confirmed in Banff in August
2016 and has since been confirmed at dozens of
sites along the Bow River and in some
commercial aquaculture facilities.
Lesley's presentation will include a background
on whirling disease including the life cycle of
the parasite that causes it, the history and
distribution of the disease and how it can
affect fish. She will also provide an update on
the situation in Alberta and what we can all do
to prevent the spread of whirling disease and
other aquatic invasive species.
