Salmon Parks Film Premiere

Accès

À propos

The film premiere of Salmon Parks is hosted under BC Culture Days in collaboration with Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society - British Columbia (CPAWS-BC). The Salmon Parks initiative is supported by Uu-a-thluk, the aquatic resource management department of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council.

Salmon Parks is an impact-driven film exploring the restoration efforts of the

Mowachaht/Muchalaht and Nuchatlaht First Nations to recover key watersheds and restore wild salmon. The film aims to educate, raise awareness and ultimately secure the establishment of Salmon Parks as a matter of Nuu-chah-nulth law, with recognition by federal and provincial governments.

This event will connect First Nations communities, storytellers, activists, policymakers and environmental campaigners from British Columbia. The film will be followed by a moderated panel session with First Nations leadership and technical staff along with a Q&A. Join us to discuss how the decline in wild salmon should be addressed through Indigenous-led resource management.

Please check back closer to the event for details on how to access the festival online and information on confirmed panellists.
