SVIAC knows that there is lots of interest in the status of the Sooke Chinook Enhancement Initiative, and where the funds from the upcoming (and past) derby will go. Coles notes version is as follows:

SVIAC finally got a meeting with DFO on August 12 to discuss the discontinuance of this year’s run of our highly successful project in the Sooke Basin. Unfortunately, the outcome was not what we had hoped for. But we aren’t giving up! Our work to support chinook and the Southern Resident Killer Whale recovery is too important. We will engage the SVI community in the fall to consider next steps.

Know as well that SVIAC has several other plans in the hopper for enhancement on the Sooke River. SVIAC is also prepared to participate in a new Sooke Watershed Management Round Table Initiative, led by the T’sou-ke First Nation.

SVIAC is also open to hear ideas from groups and individuals as to how we can support other efforts across SVI, reach out with yours!

Read more about those plans HERE, and we thank everyone for your continued support.
