Pink Salmon Festival – A Celebration of Health & Plenty

August 30th, 11am – 5pm Hadden/ Vanier Park, Vancouver BC.

(Vancouver) Each summer in BC, millions of salmon return to their
home rivers to spawn and rejuvenate our west coast ecosystem. On August
30th, the Pacific Salmon Foundation is hosting a celebration of the
return of one of the greatest, yet under-appreciated, resources in the
province – Pink Salmon. While sockeye populations on the Fraser River
have not returned in the expected numbers, all indications point to a
run of up to 15 million pink salmon coming home to the Fraser over the
coming weeks.

The PSF Pink Salmon Festival is a celebration of all that Pink
Salmon represent and offer. Pink Salmon are the base for BC’s coastal
ecological systems, they are sustainably harvested, and their delicious
and delicate texture and are prized by culinary experts the world over.

Foodies take note: this free event features Robert Clark, the
visionary and celebrated executive chef of C restaurant as well as the
chefs from Raincity Grill and Nu preparing specialty pink salmon
creations for the public to enjoy. In addition, barbecue evangelist
Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuk will be preparing a West-Coast classic:
cedar-planked pink salmon with his signature whisky-maple glaze. This
all-star culinary team will be preparing close to 3,000 pounds of
beautiful, succulent pink salmon in free, sample-sized portions for
what is sure to be an appreciative crowd.

Pink Salmon will also be celebrated with live music by Highrise
Lonesome, fish painting by the Stream of Dreams Society, magicians,
entertainers and a 60 foot salmon story telling tent! Attendees can try
their hand at fly fishing and fly tying as well as enjoying a salmon
art show and a fundraising silent auction and raffle. Displays from
community partners such as the Vancouver Aquarium’s OceanWise program
in addition to the PSF education areas featuring ocean creature touch
tanks will inform people of the important role Pink Salmon play in BC
every year.

Pink Salmon are a wonderful example of the health and plenty of British Columbia.

Please join us in celebrating their return home this year.
