Wild salmon runs in coastal BC are in steep decline. No one has fought harder and longer to save them than Alexandra Morton, a marine biologist living in the North Island Green Party riding, and the Green Party's candidate there in 2020. Her extensive study of the ecological impact of open-net salmon farms has been instrumental in government decisions to shut down salmon farms between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland.
In this Voices of Saanich webinar Alexandra Morton will be conversing with Adam Olsen on what it will take to restore the salmon runs that are so critical to indigenous communities in particular, and the ocean environment generally.

Protecting your health
BC Greens recognize that airborne illnesses and pollutants pose a significant health risk to everyone, especially the young, elderly, and immunocompromised, while caregivers, healthcare professionals, and support staff come into regular contact with vulnerable persons. When choosing venues, BC Greens prioritize outdoor spaces, and indoor spaces with good ventilation. In closed indoor spaces, we encourage attendees to wear well-fitting masks (N95, KN95, or KF94), especially during the respiratory-illness season.
Creating safe spaces
The BC Green Party is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and harassment, where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, can contribute fully and have equal speaking opportunities. To support this commitment, all event attendees will be expected to follow the standards of our Safe Spaces Participant's Guide.
