ARMS is an environmental non-profit organization committed to the protection & enhancement of the Alouette Watershed through stewardship & education.
The Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) is dedicated to proactively protecting and improving the Alouette Watershed and surrounding areas by creating a healthy environment connecting parks, trail systems, public centers and waterways. Volunteer supported, ARMS is involved in watershed inventory and monitoring, habitat restoration, public awareness and adopt-a-stream, liaising with all levels of government and private land owners, and working towards the protection of aquatic habitat. ARMS offers environmental education programs including fieldtrips, classroom and habitat programs, and day camps. ARMS is currently advocating for a fish ladder over the Alouette Dam, connecting the river and lake after almost 90 years.

A big thank you to everyone who came out in September to become certified Streamkeepers! Your time, curiosity, and commitment to learning more about our local waterways helps build a stronger community of people who care for and protect our rivers and streams 💙
We’d also like to extend a huge thank you to the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation for providing the training modules and sharing their knowledge and expertise with our new Streamkeepers.
Thank you for being part of the stewardship community!

October is here! 🍂
As the seasons change, there’s still plenty happening across the Alouette Watershed!
From salmon spawning surveys and watershed monitoring to habitat restoration and volunteer opportunities, fall is an important time for our rivers and the wildlife that depend on them.
Want to get involved? Follow along for upcoming opportunities to learn, volunteer and give back to our watershed.

Restoration doesn’t always mean changing what’s there. Sometimes, it means knowing what to leave alone. 🦫🌿
During restoration work at Coniagas Channel, our team identified an active beaver lodge and made the decision to keep it intact and undisturbed.
And it’s about more than protecting one beaver family. Beavers are ecosystem engineers, creating habitat and conditions that benefit fish, birds, amphibians, plants and so much more.
By working around the lodge rather than removing it, we’re supporting the beavers while also allowing their natural work to continue contributing to a healthier, more diverse ecosystem.
Another great example of what restoration can look like when we work with wildlife, not against it.

Restoring habitat, one channel at a time 🌿🐟
At Coniagas Channel, a long-reach excavator helped remove built-up sediment, creating more space and flow for juvenile salmon habitat. Our team then got to work installing native vegetation along the right bank to provide important cover, shade, and habitat for young salmon.
It takes a lot of moving parts—and a lot of teamwork—to give our rivers a little helping hand 💚
Thanks to Pacific Salmon Foundation & Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program for the financial contribution in making this project possible!

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Today, September 30, we honour the children who never returned home, Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry their impacts.
At the Alouette River Management Society, we recognize that caring for the land and water is inseparable from recognizing the deep connections Indigenous Peoples have with these lands and waters.
May we continue to listen, learn, reflect, and take meaningful steps toward reconciliation.

🌊 THAT’S A WRAP ON OUR 33RD ANNUAL RIDGE MEADOWS RIVERS DAY! 🌊
What a day! We were thrilled to welcome just under 700 people to Allco Park on a beautiful sunny Sunday to celebrate our rivers and the incredible community that supports them. 💙
This year, we had 29 exhibitor booths showcasing local organizations, groups and initiatives that help connect our community with our rivers and environment.
And none of it would have been possible without the incredible people behind the scenes. A huge THANK YOU to our 36 event-day volunteers, who generously donated a combined 164 hours to make Rivers Day happen. We couldn’t do it without you! 🙌
We’re also incredibly grateful for the financial support that helped make this event possible:
