Salmon Sessions Music Festival
Exclusive Early-Bird tickets available at this Link!
For the second year in a row, the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club (SFGC) has teamed up with Penmar Community Arts Society (Penmar) to raise funds for a new hatchery building through the Salmon Sessions Music Festival.
The current hatchery building has been subjected to years of flooding over its nearly 40-year history. During the devastating atmospheric river floods of 2021, the hatchery was further damaged and tens of thousands of fish eggs were destroyed when the building was under three feet of water.
SFGC is planning to construct a new building on higher ground – safe from the flooding hazards of the future. As well, it will modernize its equipment and operating systems to grow even more. It is estimated that each year, the SFGC hatchery releases an additional 100,000 salmon into the river system – over the past 40 years that equates to approximately 3.5 - 4 million salmon.
Now that’s a conservation story!
Salmon Sessions Music Festival, August 24, 2024
Salmon Sessions is a vibrant Music Festival supporting the SFGC’s vital salmon hatchery initiative. As a dedicated volunteer-driven, non-profit society for 66 years, SFGC has sustained the Little Campbell Salmon Hatchery, a key component of British Columbia’s food security.
With the current hatchery approaching the end of its life cycle, urgent support is needed to construct a new facility.
Festival attendees will not only have an amazing music experience but will also learn about Little Campbell Hatchery’s fascinating operations. Enjoy the serene beauty of the property with a leisurely walk along the river, and enthusiastic volunteers will be providing guided hatchery tours. Bring your lawn chairs and dancing shoes for a memorable day!
