The Syilx Okanagan Nation, Secwépemc Nation, Ktunaxa Nation, Canada and British Columbia are working together in a landmark agreement to explore salmon reintroduction into the Canadian portion of the Columbia River.

The long-term aim of Bringing the Salmon Home: The Columbia River Salmon Reintroduction Initiative (CRSRI) is to return fish stocks for Indigenous food, social and ceremonial needs, and to benefit the region’s residents and ecosystems as a whole.
