Canadian salmon farmers feed Canadian families.

Bowing to activist pressure, governments have shut down 40% of modern, sustainable, in-ocean salmon farming production in British Columbia. As a result, salmon prices in many locations have spiked over 20%. And because of the farm closures in B.C., what Canadians can find on grocery shelves is increasingly brought in from other countries.

Canada's Department of Fisheries and Ocean's peer-reviewed science has found no correlation between salmon farming and the change in wild pacific salmon numbers. Climate change, pollution, and habitat loss are to blame – NOT aquaculture. 

The new minister, Dianne Lebouthillier, now has the opportunity to maintain thousands of salmon aquaculture jobs in B.C's rural, coastal and Indigenous communities, building and preserving economic opportunities for so many families.

Let Prime Minister Trudeau, Minister Lebouthillier, and the Government of Canada know that you need affordable food for your family and you support Canada’s rural, coastal and Indigenous communities. Tell the Liberal government in Ottawa to stop shutting down B.C. salmon farms.
