Swim with us:
Stand for wild salmon!
THANK YOU!
The Wild Salmon Caravan 2025 has come to a beautiful close. From the opening ceremony at the Adams Lake Band Fishing Station to the vibrant parade through Chase, we witnessed community, creativity, and love for the salmon and all that sustains life.
Thank you to all the Elders, artists, youth, Knowledge Keepers, drummers, dancers, cooks, and community members who joined us in honouring the sacred salmon and celebrating Global Solidarity for Food Justice. A special thank you to the amazing groups that came together to make this event a success: Chase and Area Family Services, Ritmos Climaticos, Batucada Abrace, The Carnival Band, and Samay Cuji and her band.
Until next year — may we continue to carry the teachings forward.
