On Sept. 11, Hoy/Scott Watershed Society directors were invited to a sumptuously fresh, sockeye salmon dinner, hosted by Organic Ocean Seafood and the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program in Richmond to celebrate the opening of the Wild Salmon Season.
The event, which brought together streamkeepers from across the Lower Mainland, was held at the Organic Ocean Seafood facility located on the Steveston docks. Attendees were able to view the salmon coming direct from the boat to the cutting board, to the barbecue, and to their plates.
Words were provided by the Salmon Habitat Restoration Program, the City of Richmond, Chef Robert Clark, and Fin Donnelly, Parliamentary Secretary for Fisheries and Aquaculture.
It was a wonderful opportunity for local streamkeepers to enjoy camaraderie with other Lower Mainland stewards.
The Hoy/Scott Watershed Society extends a heartfelt thank you for the opportunity.
