Hey everyone, I just received an email from FOC ( Friends of Clayoquot). I am on their newsletter list and volunteer list. The rallies mentioned in the other cities and towns (excluding Tofino) don't have the locations. I just phoned FOC to get that information. I talked to the Office Manager who doesn't have the info but he's hoping to find it and get back to me on it. I guess we could search it out via Google, there's gotta be something out there. I would have to think it would be at the local DFO offices. Here's the email:
Calling wild salmon people…
Let's stand together for wild salmon!
What: Wild Salmon Rally
When: Tuesday December 13 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
Where: Tofino, outside the DFO office on the corner of First Street and Campbell Street.
After decimating farmed salmon stocks in Chile, it appears that Infectious Salmon Anemia (ISA) virus has found its way to BC waters. Eight wild salmon have tested positive. The Cohen Inquiry is re-opening next week for three extra days of hearings on the impacts of ISA virus in BC.
Here in Clayoquot Sound, the Plover Point salmon feedlot on the shores of Meares Island is now going though the approval process.
Wild salmon people all over BC will be organizing a week of action starting Tuesday the 13th.
It is time for us to step up and demand that DFO deal with the ISA virus crisis and not approve Plover Point before Justice Cohen has tabled his recommendations next June.
Please join us in Tofino for a peaceful rally outside the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). Wear bright colours and bring salmon-themed signs or costumes!
Or join an action or rally near you. Lillooet, Nanaimo Dec. 13; Victoria Dec. 14; Chilliwack Dec. 15; Vancouver Dec. 15, 16 and 19.
