Witness the finale to the 11th Annual Clayoquot Salmon Festival featuring the Tla-o-qui-aht Cultural Group sharing songs, stories, and dances about salmon, their interconnected role in healthy ecosystems, and important perspectives on salmon protection and solidarity. This event is not to be missed!

Come learn how Indigenous Nations continue to lead society in upholding a vibrant, life-sustaining relationship with salmon. Laste year, Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation introduced conservancies, nearly doubling the protected forest area of Clayoquot Sound from around 30% increasing to 60%. These remaining intact salmon watersheds are composed of free-flowing rivers and dense forests that shelter clean drinking water for Tofino and absorb global carbon emissions, helping to guard against the most severe impacts of climate change to us humans, salmon, and all life. The ancient salmon forest ecosystems of Clayoquot Sound and across the west coast need to be protected.

Thank you to the Tla-o-qui-aht Cultural Group, the District of Tofino, and the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust for helping to make this event possible!
