Wild Salmon Jamboree

Even with the successful ejection of the infectious open net fish farms from a large portion of Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw marine waters, wild salmon protected in this territory still face infection from exposure to other fish farms as they migrate to sea; there is still more to do to finally be rid of this scourge. To this end, the fund-raiser dance, "Wild Salmon Jamboree" will be held on unceded Qualicum First Nation territory on Saturday, March 15th at the Lighthouse Community Center in Qualicum Bay. The Silent Auction portion of the dance will feature stellar works of art by famous Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw artists who follow in the footsteps of our ancestors by being in good relationship with our relatives the wild salmon. Further, we also seek donations by local businesses who operate on traditional Kwakwa̱ka̱'wakw territory and who are friends of the wild salmon. Live music by the band, "The Real Deal". All ages family friendly alcohol free event with light snacks provided.
