Partnerships are at the heart of Pacific Salmon Foundation’s strategic approach to salmon restoration and regeneration in British Columbia. The Foundation works with provincial and local governments, businesses and volunteers to fund volunteer-driven projects across the province. One partnership we are particularly proud of contributing to is the Tsolum River Partnership.

The Sandbar Restaurant on Granville Island and Pacific Salmon Foundation are teaming up to raise money to support salmon restoration and regeneration with a charitable “Salmon Art Show” on Wednesday, March 2.
The art show will provide an opportunity to purchase striking images of salmon in their natural B.C. habitat. For anyone who has bought a fishing licence in the last twenty five years the romantic images of silver fish, dynamic in their natural environment and pursuing their prey, will be very familiar. These images have appeared for the last 23 years on the Salmon Conservation Stamp that every angler must buy in order to keep salmon caught in B.C.’s tidal waters.
