Wild Salmon Circle Barbeque

In September, the Wild Salmon Circle will be hosting a salmon barbeque for our members. The date and location of the barbeque have yet to be determined, but it will take place sometime in September. This will be a potluck barbeque - we plan to provide the salmon and are asking people who would like to attend to bring a dish or beverage of their own.

Here's a two minute video that really gives the flavour of it!

Salmon supporters, near and far,

There is some big news to report! No guarantees, of course, but there seems to be an awful lot of attention and action promoting wild salmon, and growing awareness of the manifold damage and destruction wreaked by open pen salmon farms, in BC and worldwide.

Today, Earth Day, the 'Get Out Migration' begins -- to support wild salmon, and demand the removal of industrial fish farms from the BC coast. Alexandra Morton, and countless numbers of concerned citizens, start their 'migration' from salmon waters up north in Sointula all the way to the Legislative Buildings in Victoria, culminating in a major rally on May 8, at the Leg.

The Wild Salmon Circle is calling for urgent action this week to protect this year’s out migrating Fraser sockeye. The grassroots citizen’s group is asking the public to call on opposition MPs to stand up for wild salmon in Ottawa – before parliament shuts down again for spring break. To contact your MP, please follow this link: http://www.wildsalmoncircle.com/government/

I'm not an Olympic fan, and still, one has to smile and rejoice with the inclusive, celebratory atmosphere that surrounded much of the recent Vancouver 2010 games. Want a touching sample: go to http://vimeo.com/9451898 and be prepared to move! :-)

Come and join us, show support for wild salmon, and taking back BC coast from multinational salmon farming corporations. Sea lice and diseases from these pens are killing off our wild stock. Hope to see you there! For more information, and to join the Wild Salmon Circle, go to http://www.wildsalmoncircle.com
