6:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Sample delicious Cowichan Valley wines from Blue Grouse, Unsworth Vineyards and Silverside Winery, paired with cheeses, seasonal BC Spot Prawns and a variety of gourmet appetizers on Saturday, May 18th while enjoying views from the floor to ceiling windows from Oceanfront Suites Resort in Cowichan Bay.

Guests will have opportunities to bid on prestigious silent auction items donated by Roy Henry Vickers and Mark Hobson, chances for Tofino, Vancouver and Haida Gwaii getaways, gift baskets, jewelry, housewares, restaurant vouchers and so much more! All to raise funds to help further the research of biologist Alexandra Morton on the impact of open net, ocean dwelling, Atlantic salmon farms on our BC wild salmon stocks.

In an endorsement of her currently touring documentary Salmon Confidential (www.salmonconfidential.ca), David Suzuki commented:

�For years, Alexandra Morton has soldiered on providing evidence of and calling for action on the catastrophic state of wild salmon. Government and industries have thwarted her over and over again. This film clearly documents that governments do not put protection of wild salmon at the top of their priorities and Canadians should be outraged. I am.�

The event runs from 6:30pm - 9:30pm. Ms Morton will be in attendance for an update, discussion and Q&A.

Tickets are just $25! Each ticket comes with a Salmon Confidential DVD or you can view the film at www.salmonconfidential.ca
Tickets are available at Cowichan Bay Seafoods and Oceanfront Suites in Cowichan bay and Bucky's Sport Shop, The Community Farm Store and Alderlea Farm Cafe in Duncan or by e-mail reservation to [email protected]
