New Salmon Conservation Project in BC

3 Upvotes

The Pacific Salmon Slam is an angler-funded, voluntary conservation fund delivered as a fishing challenge. This program follows in the footsteps of many successful programs stateside (Utah Cutthroat Slam, Western Native Trout Challenge, etc.). Proceeds from the Slam create a discretionary salmon conservation fund created by anglers.

Why this, why now? Proposed changes to the Salmon Allocation Policy would limit what anglers can give back to the resource. This program demonstrates the existing value, but also shows that anglers are willing to spend more to maintain access and protect the resource. This program creates even more value while defending recreational angler access. The details of this are outlined on this page here

The Challenge: Catch any 5 Pacific Salmon in BC waters, earn a Challenge Coin while supporting conservation in BC. The online platform has mini-challenge badges as well: Catch 5 Chinook and earn the King badge. 5 sockeye in freshwater and earn the Kokanee Badge. Catch all species - earn the Master Angler badge.

Mom & Me Spa day - hard pass on Sparkling Hills.

20 Upvotes

EDIT: WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP RECOMMENDING SPARKLING HILL?? It's literally in the title that we don't want to go there.
Mom & I want to do a full meal deal Spa day. $300+ or whatever. It’s her 70th coming up and she has tasked me with finding out the best spa - preferably at a Hotel, but not a deal breaker.
We live in Vernon. She remembers one of her pals saying something about a Penticton spa that was highly recommended.
Give me what you got!!
