The Get Out Migration: Spring 2010

The Get Out Migration was a 500km march down Vancouver Island in the spring of 2010. Starting from Sointula and ending with a huge rally in Victoria, the Migration raised awareness about the impacts of salmon feedlots on the wild salmon of BC. It was also an opportunity for communities to express their passion for wild salmon and their protection.
