Trekor and Xatśūll First Nation Mark 10th Year Anniversary of Salmon Sampling Program
Trekor and Gibraltar Mine were honoured to gather with members of the Xatśūll First Nation and local communities at the Xatśūll Cultural Heritage Village for the 2026 Fraser River Salmon Sampling Program, marking the program's 10th anniversary.
Since 2016, the partnership between Xatśūll First Nation, Gibraltar Mine, and Environmental Dynamics Inc. has provided valuable information about the health and nutrition of salmon harvested from Xatśūll traditional fishing sites along the Fraser River. Each year, the partners come together to collect samples, learn more about fish health, and enjoy a community BBQ.
The continuity of the program reflects the ongoing commitment of Xatśūll First Nation, Gibraltar Mine and Environmental Dynamics Inc. to salmon sampling and long-term data collection on the Fraser River. Ten years of sampling provides an important body of information that can help identify changes over time and contribute to a better understanding of the salmon harvested by Xatśūll members.
Trekor is proud of what the Fraser River Salmon Sampling Program has achieved over the past decade and grateful to Xatśūll First Nation for their ongoing contributions to its success.
