We’re back – fingers crossed! The dates for Toadfest 2025 are Wednesday, August 6 (afternoon) and Thursday August 7 (morning) at Summit Lake Provincial Park, near Nakusp.
We had to cancel Toadfest both years due to wildfires and road closures.
At Toadfest 2022, we celebrated the opening of a new toad tunnel under the highway, funded by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Check out some of the photos here.
We hosted two online Toadfest events in 2020 and want to share our western toad videos with you. Learn more about the toad’s migration, life cycle and the research and mitigation work funded by FWCP. We’ve also posted a few toad jokes . Please share these videos with others.

This event is sponsored by the FWCP with support from the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development.
