We hope you can join the Wild Salmon Circle on Nov. 12 from 7-9 PM at Vancouver's SFU Segal Centre for the premiere of a new short documentary by filmmaker Damien Gillis, which shows how the British Columbia experience of salmon farming fits into a global pattern of catastrophe wrought by a predominantly Norwegian-owned industry.

"Farmed Salmon Exposed" is a 20-minute film showcasing footage and images from Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Chile, and Canada. The documentary lifts the lid on facts that government and industry hoped Canadians would never learn about:
• That 90% of BC salmon farms are owned by 3 Norwegian corporations, with profits leaving our province
• That the industry has unleashed a deadly virus (ISA) that has decimated the industry in Chile, is currently hitting Scotland, and looms as a threat to wild salmon in Canada
• That there are possible links between the Fraser River sockeye collapse and open-net salmon farms on BC's coast
• That wild forage-fish stocks worldwide are being ravaged to make pelletized feed for farmed salmon
Featuring interviews with scientists, conservationists, indigenous and labour leaders from around the world, "Farmed Salmon Exposed" reveals the underbelly of industry now known as the "asbestos of the oceans" -- a corporate agribusiness that externalizes its waste and problems onto the ecosystems and coastal residents in the countries where it operates, while exporting profits into the pockets of foreign shareholders.
The short film will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q & A - featuring longtime salmon farming critic and former BC Environment Minister Rafe Mair, Hereditary Chief Robert Joseph of the Broughton Archipelago Territory, Chilean-Canadian biologist Pablo Trujillo from UBC's Fisheries Centre, and filmmaker Gillis. The event will conclude with a short-letter writing party for give those who are interested a chance to take direct action for wild salmon in BC.

Through this documentary
Through this documentary film, you would be more open on how and what risks you would be taken about farm business. On the other hand, exporting, the opposite of importing, is obviously the transfer of goods away from one's home country to elsewhere to be sold. A small business might try moving into export markets to expand their client base, and there are government programs to help them get off the ground in that arena. It could be anything from hats to underwater woven baskets, but the Small Business Administration and Export and Import Bank of the U.S. both have programs that help a small business begin exporting their goods to foreign lands, and build the necessary credit of their company worldwide.
