Attend the B.C. Young Aboriginal Fishers Conference!

Posted on January 6, 2016January 15, 2016 by heathersthomson

The Native Fishing Association (NFA) is pleased to invite you to attend the first annual BC Young Aboriginal Fishers to be held on January 26-28, 2016 at the Radisson Hotel, in Richmond, BC.

This conference is for active fishermen under 40/45 years old that are trying to build fishing careers and/or fishers that have experience on a vessel and are looking at becoming more involved in the industry. So, share this with your family and friends.

Conference Focus

The conference will bring together fishermen from around the province with the goal of creating a space to network with peers and share information about ways to build successful and diversified fishing operations to navigate today’s changing industry. The NFA would also like to receive input and guidance from you on how government programs are working and where we, as a community-based organization, can best put our resources to support you.

Agenda

The Agenda is being developed based on feedback that the Native Fishing Association (NFA) received from interviews with some young fishermen. The conference will focus on the opinions and ideas of early-career fishermen like yourself through panel and peer group discussions. The participants will:

Meet and discuss with fellow peers ways in which to diversify fishing skills and experiences
Discuss interests, reflections, and/or concerns regarding the industry.
Work together to build partnerships and/or economies of scale.

Registration and travel reimbursement

Please contact the NFA if you are interested in attending at 604-913-2997 or reception@shoal.ca

They invite you to consider first any agencies that might be able to support your travel costs for this professional development opportunity.
