In the Community
We’re proud to work alongside the greater Vancouver Island community through a variety of meaningful initiatives. By supporting programs like Take a Kid Fishing and the Pink Salmon Festival, we help foster the next generation of anglers while promoting sustainability within our local fisheries. Our twice-annual fishing derbies not only bring people together, but also provide fresh catches to community support organizations, such as Our Place, ensuring our efforts benefit both the ecosystem and our neighbours.
