Next week, Wed Jan 18th, Marine Harvest will be in Port Hardy Provincial Court for sentencing for illegal possession of wild salmon and herring. And Cermaq (Mainstream) will be in court starting Monday Jan 16th in Vancouver trying to sue Don Staniford for his effort to get salmon farms out of the ocean.
Read the details on
Alexandra Morton's blog. If you can make it to either place and support wild salmon and the people who stand up for them it makes a difference. Donations are important to
help Don Staniford pay for legal costs.
After an explosive day of testimony at the Cohen Commisison, whic you can read more about in
Alexandra Morton's blog , many people could be found honoring Wild Salmon which they believe to be the greatest gift in a vigil by the big tree next to Canada Place with candles in hand, photographs, artwork of salmon and the world they feed wrapped up to highlight what true gifts we have already been given.
Today Salmon Are Sacred launches an ad campaign to remind people at this time of year what our true gifts are. Please pass this on to you friends and family.
