First Nation partners with Canada to build salmon hatchery to restore fish populations in British Columbia.

The Tsilhqot'in National Government in British Columbia is partnering with Canada's federal Fisheries Department to build a permanent salmon conservation hatchery. Managed by the First Nation, the hatchery aims to rebuild salmon populations in the Chilcotin, Chilko, and Taseko rivers, which have seen declining fish returns. The project hopes to support traditional fishing practices and address challenges like a recent landslide that blocked the Chilcotin River.
