I’m flat, wide, and stretch out when the river overflows. I soak up water, grow tall grasses, and make space for fish and birds. You’ll only see me when the river spills its banks. What am I?

Meet the muskrat, a Fraser River wetland species. 🌿 Not actually rats, they’re closer to voles. With webbed feet and dense fur, they build cattail-and-mud lodges that shelter them and other species. Have you seen one along the Fraser? #FraserRiver #BCWildlife

Back in the 1800s, when people used the river to transport logs, some logs would get lost and sink. These sunken logs, called "deadheads," can still pop up to the surface sometimes, looking like ghostly driftwood! #History #RiverFacts #BCLogging

Opened in 1937, the Pattullo Bridge was the first major road crossing of the Fraser in the Lower Mainland, linking New West and Surrey in a new era of connection. 📷 Photo: Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project, BC Infrastructure Benefits (bcib.ca). #BCBridges

The Fraser River often has a milky blue colour, especially in its upper reaches. This comes from very fine ground-up rock, called "glacial rock flour", that washes into the river from the glaciers in the mountains. #GlacialRivers #BCNature #GlacialRockFlour #ExploreBC

The Annieville Cannery, built across from New Westminster in the late 1800s, was one of the Fraser’s first salmon canneries—sending sockeye from BC to markets as far as England and Australia. #FraserRiverHistory #SalmonCanning #BCHistory #NewWestminster #FraserRiver
