The hatchery will help maintain healthy levels of Chinook and steelhead
The Tŝilhqot’in National Government is partnering with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to open a salmon conservation hatchery.
A TNG press release notes Tŝilhqot’in territory, which includes the entire Chilcotin watershed, is a salmon stronghold and is home to the strongest annual sockeye run of the Fraser River. The watershed includes three salmon-bearing watersheds: the Chilcotin, the Chilko and the Taseko Rivers. “Due to the Tŝilhqox landslide this summer, our people did not harvest fish,” said Nits’ilʔin Joe Alphonse and tribal chair of TNG.
