Celebrating Thirty Years, 1992-2022
For thirty years now, the Friends of Fish Creek have been dedicated to the protection and preservation of this park and have spearheaded volunteer programs and educational activities to engage community members. To commemorate our 30th Anniversary, we have a very exciting opportunity for you to get involved and show your support for Fish Creek Provincial Park. We invite you to dedicate a tree near the Bow Valley Ranch, along the 30th Anniversary Poplar Grove. This fundraising and conservation initiative provides a truly unique opportunity for you to support a legacy project here in Fish Creek Provincial Park. You can donate towards the 30th Anniversary Poplar Grove to help ensure a healthy and sustainable tree population in the park for the next thirty years and beyond.

Bitter Sisters Brewing Co. – Proud Supporter of Fish Creek
The Friends are excited to partner with one of Calgary’s newest restaurant and breweries – Bitter Sisters. Each month Bitter Sisters chooses a local charity for their Donation Libation tap community support program and the Friends are pleased to have been chosen for May. Twenty-five cents from the sale of every Tarty Cousin Sue – a refreshing cranberry raspberry wheat ale – will go to the Friends of Fish Creek. https://friendsoffishcreek.org.
