Hello All
I apologize for the numerous emails, but the wild salmon movement is at such a crucial moment that I want make sure everyone knows what they can do to make sure we fix this situation.
Two hundred and fifty people greeted us in Campbell River the heart of the Norwegian salmon farming industry. Hundreds of people honked and waved as we walked the 25 km south on the old Island highway.
However, this is not going to be enough. As a friend walking with me today said, "If you want to be represented, you will have to represent yourself."
If you want to see BC's coast produce wild salmon again you need to show up wherever possible, so I am listing the dates of where the Get Out Migration will be, more information is at www.salmonaresacred.org
April 29 Thursday we will be on the highway heading south into Courtenay, We will arrive around 2:30-3:00 at the Exhibition Grounds please walk with us to Simms Park, in the evening we will be at the Komox Native Band Hall 600pm.
April 30 Friday Walking from Courtenay to Fanny Bay 3pm Cowie Creek to Fanny Bay, 4pm Fanny Bay Hall
May 1 Saturday Fanny Bay to Big Qualicum 5-9pm celebration at Big Qualicum River Campground live entertainment
May 2 Sunday 11 am Town of Qualicum Beach 2pm luncheon at Pheasant Glen Golf Course
May 3 Monday arrive Saw-Nas-Aw campground Lantzville
May 4 Tuesday Lantzville Road from Saw-Nas-Aw campground at 7 am to Costco Parking lot at lunch time then walk to Maffeo Sutton Park for a Rally then take the 5:55 Ferry to Gabriola evening presentation at Agi Hall

It is vital that everyone show up for these events if possible. Ottawa is not going to inconvenience this industry without enormous public participation.
