Courtenay's Central Vancouver Island

supporter of PSF events. Last year, the

Marine Search and Rescue in the valley.

Beginning in 2011, the Bamfield
Tuna Shootout is Canada's first
albacore tuna fishing derby. The
event was started to promote the
relatively new and quickly expanding
albacore sport fishery. Last year,
it also helped raise $5,000 for
the Pacific Salmon Foundation.

At just $100 per person, the Galiano
Salmon Classic is a great opportunity
to get your fishing buddies together
in support of salmon. The event
regularly raises $5,000 or more for
PSF projects and takes place at scenic
Montague Harbour on Galiano Island.

Held at two lodges in Haida Gwaii,
Westcoast Resorts' Salmon Masters
Tournament is the largest cash salmon
derby in North America. The event has
been responsible for introducing several
major donors to the PSF (including the
Pan Pacific Salmon
Club members
pictured above)
and raising funds
for salmon projects
through its kick-off
event, which last
year raised $30,000
via bids on items
and raffle ticket
purchases.
Langara Island Lodge's annual Red Boat
Challenge brings together leaders in the
mining industry with a zeal for fishing and
conservation. Funds raised by the group
are matched by Langara. The derby,
which raised a record $50,000 in 2016,
outdid itself again, raising $60,000 for PSF
projects in 2017.
