The BC NDP Cabinet will be meeting with First Nation leaders at the Vancouver Convention Centre West September 6 & 7, 2017. The Wild Salmon Defenders Alliance will rally in solidarity with Musgamagw Dzawada'enuxw, Namgis and Mamalilikulla who are occupying two fish farms to assert their Indigenous rights and and responsibilities to care for their unceded territory and fishing resources. We are calling on the BC Cabinet to exercise provincial jurisdiction to revoke licences of occupation given to fish farms in their territories, thus putting an end to 30 years of fish farm violations of their Indigenous rights, and result in a very meaningful act of reconciliation. A press conference will be held at the Vancouver Conference Centre on morning of September 7, 2017
