Volunteers Keep Our Association Strong
Our Marion Baker Hatchery and Ranges are looking for volunteers.

Since 1912, volunteers have been the backbone of building our ranges and supporting conservation. Without you, past and present, we would not be what we are today.

In order for a volunteer organization such as ours to remain strong, we are always looking for members willing to lend a hand. Whether it is helping with maintenance, events, or projects, every contribution matters. We are still looking for Volunteers to help update the Historical Book.

Volunteer Treasurer Position Available:
We are looking for a Treasurer to join our Board and provide financial oversight and guidance.
This role focuses on reviewing financial information, supporting budgeting, and helping the Board understand the organization’s financial position. It is not a day-to-day bookkeeping role. Administrative support and established systems are already in place.
Time commitment: Approximately 4 hours per month, with additional time during year-end and AGM periods.
This role may be a good fit if you:
Have experience with financial statements or accounting
Enjoy helping organizations stay organized and transparent
Are interested in governance and community involvement

To learn more, contact us by email at pqfg.org or phone: 250-228-3877
we look forward to hearing from you.

From the BCWF!

Salmon belong to all Canadians. Learn how to protect your right to fish.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is proposing significant changes to the Salmon Allocation Policy that could reduce public access to salmon and impact fishing opportunities across British Columbia.

The B.C. Wildlife Federation has been hosting town halls across B.C. to tell anglers:
- What changes are being proposed to the Salmon Allocation Policy
- How those changes could affect recreational fishing and public access
- Why science-based, balanced policy matters for conservation
- How anglers can effectively engage their MPs and DFO

To ensure all British Columbians have an opportunity to attend, we're hosting a virtual town hall:

Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2026
Time: 7:00 PM
Location: Hosted on Zoom or Facebook Live

If you are a recreational fisherman this recent decision by the DFO will affect the way you are able to pursue your sport.
I strongly recommend you watch this….then write your MP to voice your concerns.

If you need to get a PAL or CORE course. If any other PAL/CORE certified instructors wish to use our page to make others aware of their services, please reach out and I will post their business cards as well.

PQGA members, it would appear your fishing rights are being attacked. Reach out to your MP’s, MLA, DFO, as well as the PM and Provincial Premier with your questions, concerns and objections to the removal of your Right to Fish.

The attach article from the BCWF for more detail.

BCWF supports conservation-first principles as DFO reviews Canada’s Salmon Allocation Policy to ensure fair, transparent, and sustainable salmon fisheries.
