On May 8th, come to Centennial Square and stand up for wild salmon. Join Alexandra Morton and people from all over British Columbia and send a strong message: get industrial fish farms out of our coastal waters.

Wild Pacific salmon have always been at the heart of life and culture on the coast of British Columbia. They have nourished the people and wildlife of this province. First Nations people, coastal communities, orcas, eagles, bears and our forests all depend on the life-giving feast of wild salmon. But now, as their numbers decline steeply, the very existence of our once-mighty salmon runs is at stake. It is time for us to stand up for wild salmon and tell fish farms to get out of our coastal waters.

On Earth Day, respected salmon scientist Alexandra Morton and a group of dedicated activists will start walking from Sointula in the fish farm-filled Broughton Archipelago to Victoria for the Get Out Migration. Along the way concerned citizens will be meeting her for rallies, and presentation, and public meetings.

Her journey will end in Victoria on Saturday May 8th with a rally to send a message to Ottawa: it is time to shut fish farms down. Join Alexandra and thousands of British Columbians from all walks of life and stand up for wild salmon!

Festivities start at 2:00 Centennial Square and include art, music and great speakers We will march to the Legislature for rally at 4:00.
