Subject: Peacemakers web site
We are pleased to officially release the Peacemakers web site at:
http://fraserriverpeacemakers.ca/ This has been an ongoing process partially funded by the "Harmony on the Fraser" initiative. We thank all the organizations & agencies that have contributed to the ongoing "Peacemaker/Harmony on the Fraser" initiative, both financially & through contribution in kind. We especially thank all the dedicated volunteers that have provided valuable counsel since 2009.
The " Fraser River Peacemakers" process is officially in it's 6th year and we are optimistic we have made some contribution to improving relations between the various user groups. Our longevity continues to be based on the established & ongoing positive relationships between First Nations and recreational interests. The past years has seen genuine efforts to provide safe respectful fisheries on the Fraser River. Our successes to date are primarily due to greater understanding & respect for each other's fisheries. We have a common goal which is to protect & provide future fisheries for our children & grandchildren.
We are asking all organizations & individuals to promote our web site & provide links wherever possible. Please forward to all those that you know will find of interest. We have provided a section for those who would like to make suggestions or become more involved in the Fraser River Peacemakers process. Our offer to assist in creating similar processes in other areas of the province continues.
With an anticipated substantial pink fishery for the Fraser this summer, conflicts between user groups could occur. The role of the "Conflict Resolution Committee" is to attempt to solve & prevent conflicts. Each page of the site highlights how to report a conflict or perceived potential conflict. We realize that all conflicts cannot be prevented, but we do have the contacts in place to attempt to solve them. Past experience has shown some success in preventing & solving conflict by Peacemakers.
It should always be noted that any & all conflicts of a violent nature should be reported to both the RCMP & DFO fisheries officers.
We remain committed to working toward safe respectful fisheries for all user groups & preserving this priceless resource for our respective future generations.
