Kiewit is awarded the contract for blasting the Fraser River slide

Glad to see this finally announced! Let's hope the announcement for recovery plan that Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan says she is coming to BC to make for Upper Fraser Chinook and Sockeye has meaningful action and funding towards a true recovery of these stocks!

Somehow I’m betting that announcement she is doing isn’t good for the sports sector.

I still have the signs ready to go if it isn't!

I bet only 1 group will benefit and it will not be the salmon.

That's why I have the signs ready to go!

Has the announcement bin made? Do we know what it is?

Just saw on her Twitter from 2hrs ago she was being briefed by one of the DFO leads, should be something soon I hope

I don’t think we will hear anything today as it does not look like there is a formal news briefing scheduled.

 

[SerengetiGuide]

She said earlier this week there would be an announcement today regarding fraser river salmon and communities affected by it etc

 

[screaminreels]

The fact it's possibly coming out late on a Friday is not a good sign

 

[High Time]

Usual DFO ploy. Dump the good news late Friday and head for cover. Some things never change...

 

[cohochinook]

Talked to a contact at SFI this evening. They had not heard anything about the announcement yet.

Probably wait for us to buy new licenses, make plans and reservations then hit us with a coast wide closure(re-allocation).
