Thanks for stopping by. It has been a beautiful year for salmon. We live on 65 acres of old growth second growth forest with swamps. The Bessette runs though it and Gordon took the photos. We have seen Sockeye too. Sadly our Coho are endangered. There is pollution.
We started seeing wild salmon in August at Yard Creek (near Revelstoke). 200,000 people went to Adams River to see the Sockeye this year. If you have time next year – come visit us – the Shuswap (10 minutes from here) has nearly as many salmon as Adams River – and very few tourists. We are trying to get a fish ladder up the Wilsey Dam. We hope to see the salmon get above the falls to Cherryville.
You can also take an online tour of the Lumby Salmon Trail signs – where it says that open net fish farms pose life threatening challenges to wild salmon.
Therefore, we Canadian civil society organizations, who work for public welfare, call on our federal government to revive the powers of the Bank of Canada to provide funding to all levels of government in Canada, largely with interest-free loans, as was done between 1935 and 1975 with very low inflation, enabling our nation to break out of the Great Depression, to fulfill extraordinary responsibilities during World War II, and to prosper while building our infrastructure and highly valued social programs during some thirty post-war years. We Canadians now urgently need a renaissance of these powers of our Bank of Canada.

To find out about the challenges for wild salmon – visit the Cohen Commission – an Inquiry into the decline of Sockeye salmon. Check out Salmon are Sacred and Wild Salmon People.
