FNFFS Nations don’t want economic compensation in this process but economic participation in aquaculture and ocean management in their territories.

“We are not stakeholders, we are shareholders, and as such we will continue to lead this process to ensure the Government of Canada keeps its commitment that this transition will be responsible, realistic, and achievable – and we will hold them accountable to that."

Join us on August 22, 2024, for our Community Appreciation BBQ in Robert V. Ostler Park in Campbell River from 11:30am - 3:30pm!

The BBQ will include various engagement stations, including a Virtual Reality station to take a tour of a salmon farm, an Ask Us Anything booth, a Kid’s Zone and a fun Photo Booth.

BBQs will be fired up so you can enjoy a healthy and delicious salmon lunch. We will be encouraging cash donations (suggesting a $5 minimum) to support the Campbell River Food Bank.

BC gets an “F” on food security. Government-mandated salmon farm closures in BC have resulted in the disappearance of 192 million salmon meals from Canadian dining tables since 2020…maybe a connection here???

B.C.’s food insecurity rate for 2024 - 21.8 per cent, F grade on the report card as well. So: continue modern salmon farming - grow Cdn food for Cdns & keep people employed so that they can afford to live. @CanadianPM @cafreeland @DiLebouthillier

Aquaculture supply and support companies, which sustain the livelihoods of thousands of British Columbians, have called for a six-year salmon farm licence renewals. Read more: https://t.co/2p5iXyTDgW #LoveCDNSalmon #cdnpoli

Canadian Salmon farming is a community. It goes beyond the farms to the network of suppliers across Canada, and the rural, coastal and Indigenous communities where they call home.
Say YES to modern, sustainable, in-ocean, science-backed Canadian salmon farming! #cdnpoli

[loveCDNsalmon @loveCDNsalmon]

Salmon farmers comprise the youngest agri-food workforce in Canada. Sustainable salmon farming brings key career opportunities - especially for younger Canadians, a more diverse & technologically skilled workforce.

100% of B.C. Farmed Salmon is raised in partnership with First Nations. B.C. First Nations are leading the transition of salmon farming in their territories. Tell Ottawa to say YES to B.C. salmon farming: https://t.co/7dpc1n3UFn #cdnpoli

[First Nations for Finfish Stewardship @FNFFSBC]

The transition of salmon farms in our territories will be led by Rightsholder Nations working closely with the federal and provincial governments, science, and the sector. The future of salmon farming will be shaped by our traditional knowledge, Western science and technology.

"To be blunt, removing [salmon farms] would have what a downturn in recession would produce, which is higher levels of addiction, higher levels of poverty, higher levels of suicide rates. These are direct impacts that these Nations would suffer."

There's a lot on the line for First Nations with salmon farming in their territories. This is why Rightsholder Nations in B.C. are leading the transition of salmon farming in their waters, working closely with the federal and provincial governments, the sector, and science to build a plan that's realistic, responsible, and achievable.

First Nations-led.
Science-backed.
Industry-supported.
This is the future of BC salmon farming.
