‘The Get Out Migration’ Alexandra Morton walks to Victoria

Salmon Are Sacred is calling on everyone who loves wild salmon to participate in the finale to ‘The Get Out Migration’ which started on Earth Day (22nd April). Alexandra Morton and many others are walking from northern Vancouver Island all the way to Victoria by May 8th in order to send a message to the government to get open net salmon farms out of BC waters.

We expect this to be the biggest rally against open net salmon farming in Canadian history. People are coming from many other communities to be here.
