🎥 NEW: Watch the full April 29 FNFFS Coalition press conference from Parliament Hill.
Coastal Chiefs unveiled a 5-pillar Indigenous-led plan for BC salmon aquaculture — and called on the Carney government to reverse the 2029 net-pen ban.
$1.12B sector. 4,000 jobs. Nation-led future.

Canada needs policy decisions that are informed, proportionate and evidence‑based.
Salmon farming contributes to domestic food production, coastal economies and year‑round supply.
It also operates within a regulated framework that should be assessed on facts, not broad claims.
Healthy debate is welcome. Mischaracterization is not a substitute for analysis.

Salmon farming in rural and remote coastal communities is not an abstract policy debate. It is paycheques, small businesses, and young people deciding whether they can stay in their home communities.
Sign the petition and tell Ottawa to protect it.

The predicted extinction of pink salmon from #sealice by #activist scientists started the fabricated #lies about #aquaculture in BC. With pinks invading Norway with 1000x the farms seems like apologies are owed. #shameful people.com/new-research-stud…

A routine letter to Ottawa from international salmon-farming groups is being recast as a foreign-influence threat by activists whose fundraising pitch and public support are losing ground.

Global demand for salmon continues to rise.
The U.S. confirms salmon remains a top seafood choice. Europe is looking to grow more of its own fish supply.
As Canada reviews the future of salmon farming in BC, the question isn’t whether demand exists.
It’s whether Canada wants to help meet it.

"The big difference between us and the wealthy Vancouverites and activists who want to shut this down is that this is our livelihoods."..."Our Nation believes in conservation, and the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation has already protected 55% of our traditional territories..." - Deputy Councillor, Isaiah Robinson, Kitasoo Xai'Xais Nation, on Parliament Hill last week. ⬇️

"It can't be pipelines and mines and forestry for some First Nations, but not salmon aquaculture for others." — Hasheukumiss, Tyee, Ahousaht First Nation
That's not partnership. That's not reconciliation.
BC Coastal First Nations to Ottawa: we're asking to stand inside Canada's economic agenda — partner-to-partner.

"We can grow farm salmon AND protect wild salmon. We've done it for decades."
BC Coastal First Nations to PM Carney: reverse the 2029 Trudeau-era net-pen ban.
Unfreeze $500M of investment held back in rural, remote communities. Deploy in months, not years.
🎥: Dallas Smith, Spokesperson @FNFFSBC

“When Ottawa officials announced the 2029 net pen ban the job losses started in 2024 but the investments froze in 2022,” Robinson said. “Our young people are the workers within this industry and when jobs leave Klemtu, they will leave too.”

5/5 The next six-year grow-out cycle begins in June. Without policy clarity, companies face job cuts now or healthy fish culled in 2029. We're asking Ottawa to walk the talk on economic reconciliation. #IndigenousLed #FutureFocused #cdnpoli #reconciliation
