“several sport fishing lodges made the choice to cease operations this year. The Council of the Haida Nation commends this respectful act made by Langara Island Lodge, Peregrine Lodge, Naden Lodge, Escott Sportfishing Lodge, and Queen Charlotte Safaris,” reads a statement
“There are, though, a select few sportfishing lodges planning to resume service this year. The Haida Nation’s current state of emergency does not permit any non-essential travel to Haida Gwaii, including the operation of fishing lodges, at this time.”
The statement notes Dr. Bonnie Henry supports Indigenous communities’ right to limit travel to their territory, even as the province reopens.”
