YOUR VOICE MATTERS.
Contact the government of canada Today
and attend the virtual salmon allocation policy town hall on March 11
The future of the PUBLIC fishery is at risk. Commercial fishing and BC First Nations groups are pushing Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to replace the current, fair and reliable Salmon Allocation Policy (SAP) that has been in place since 1999 with a rigid new percentage-based model that would restrict public fishery access and opportunities.
If you care about fishing, your community, and your rights make your voice heard today!
call or send an email explaining:
Salmon fishing has personal significance for YOU – whether cultural, social, economic, or related to family traditions.
Priority access to Chinook and Coho is ESSENTIAL for cultural values, family traditions, protecting jobs, tourism activity, and sustainable opportunities for Canadians and visitors.
The ONLY addition required in a revised SAP is the inclusion of Indigenous Rights-based commercial fisheries, and that no other changes are needed to ensure a fair and balanced policy for both now and the future.
Salmon resources belong to ALL Canadians and, like any other common property resource, they must be managed by the Government of Canada on behalf of all Canadians.
The Government of Canada must make fair and balanced decisions that benefit and respect all Canadians.
YOUR FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT. SO IS KEEPING YOUR MESSAGE RESPECTFUL and focused on the issues.
