Who Are We?
The Pacific Salmon Foundation was
established in 1987 as an independent,
non-governmental, charitable
organization to protect, conserve and
restore wild Pacic salmon populations in
British Columbia and the Yukon. Today,
the Foundation galvanizes the breadth
of vested stakeholders to support Pacic
salmon from stream to estuary to ocean.
The Foundation:
• Raises money and makes grants to
volunteer community groups that
conserve and restore streams across
the province.
• Manages watershed initiatives in
British Columbia that catalyze industry,
First Nations, provincial and federal
governments, and other non-prots.
• Advances science to improve the
understanding of factors that limit the
abundance of Pacic salmon.
• Works with government to prioritize
and facilitate strategic salmon
conservation in the province.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
The "Red Boat Challenge" is a long-running trip
to Langara Island Lodge that brings together
Canadian mining leaders with a penchant for shing
and conservation. For several years now, the trip has
helped raise funds for Pacic Salmon Foundation
projects. This year was the most successful to date
raising $45,000 including a matching donation made
by Langara Island Lodge.
SPECIAL THANKS!
