[Governor]

We, the Directors of the South Vancouver Island Anglers Coalition (SVIAC), are proud to announce the launch of an exciting initiative to the angling community of South Vancouver Island. A new BC registered non-profit society has been created to help you.

SVIAC is a results-oriented angling advocacy organization purposed specifically to lobby government at all levels. Our efforts will bring pressure to bear upon government to protect and rebuild ourhighly-valued fresh and saltwater public fisheries around south Vancouver Island, ensuring there will be abundant healthy fish populations for the benefit of today’s and tomorrow’s fishermen.

SVIAC’s mission is not to diminish in any way the valiant efforts of the many existing organizations, who’ve worked hard to achieve similar goals; rather, we are committed to breaking new ground and forming effective robust alliances in our goal to organize & tap the awesome might of our angling community into a unified, well-managed advocacy and lobby group.

The inaugural Board of Directors and founding members have worked diligently together over the last several months to lay a rock-solid foundation for this new organization. We have crafted a mission statement with strategic objectives to guide us as we grow and build our membership into a powerful, cohesive Anglers Coalition. Our primary focus is to succeed in halting the troubling decline of our fisheries; for that reason, we are hosting an official public launch event to share with you who weare, why we are here, and why we desperately need your support help build this fledgling movement into an all-powerful Coalition of Anglers whose voices will be heard ‘loud & clear’ from Victoria, to Ottawa.

We cordially invite all south island anglers (salt & fresh water) to attend our public launch. The Anglers Coalition Face-Off Celebrationevent on Tuesday, Nov. 27[SUP]th[/SUP] (6:30pm) at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel (829 McCallum Rd. behind Costco)

Look forward to seeing you all at the meeting and bring all your fishing buddies!

Everyone who attends is entered into a draw at the end of the presentation. Just by showing up, you have a chance to win a fishing charter in Sooke by one of the best! You can also win accommodations in the Sooke area.

I was informed that SVIAC will represent both fresh and saltwater anglers from Nanaimo to Port Renfrew, and everywhere in between.

This is not just a ***** session. Great results will come from this group, but they need your support. Oh, and if you need more incentive......CASH BAR!
